Give it a real thought. What are you passionate about?
QUOTE pasâ€Â§sion  /ˈpæʃÉ™n/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[pash-uhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun [SPECIFICALLY] 1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate. 4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire. 6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music. 7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him. 8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words. 9. violent anger. 10. the state of being acted upon or affected by something external, esp. something alien to one's nature or one's customary behavior (contrasted with action). Politics? In what way? I feel like if you are truely passionate about something you seek out information, activity that involves, includes, or works towards the thing. Culture? Social Inequality? Playing sports? What is your definition for "passion"? Is anything excluded from being able to be passionate about? For example can one of your passions just be having a good time? How important is it for someone to be passionate about things? In a relationship sense is this something you seek out in others or are you indifferent? -------------------- Little monkeys making money

QUOTE (Rocky @ Oct 25 2006, 12:29 AM)  Nobody is going to admit to being passionless. But we all know that plenty of people are. Really? I feel like I've never really had passion for anything. Never really developed any interest that I cared enough about to maintain. No strong opinions on religion, politics or whatever. Kind of seems like a family trait. They only thing I might consider I've been passionate about is reading. Books, magazines, comic books, whatever. -------------------- death to false dudes

I'm passionate.......about your mom; oh, I'm sorry I meant with your mom.
No, I was actually thinking about this earlier today and I used to be passionate about alot of things in high school, but currently, I am 91% devoid of passion......I suppose that's unfortunate. -------------------- Je suis toute du merde.

I'm passionate towards the people I care about. I actively pursue some form of relationship with them although I'm the first to admit I am still not very good at this but it's something I'm working on. I think about them and think of ways to help them in my own way when they may need help. I take an interest in their lives.
I'm passionate about people in general. I'm interested in what makes people tick as a species, culture, society, and individual and that deals into what I'm passionate about in politics. I like reading about these things and pursue further knowledge. Goes directly into what I'm in school for. And I suppose one of my passions is actually finding things to be passionate about. I go about this by reading about things in newspapers, the internet, books, or stuff I get from my classes. I have a passion for increasing my passion. The common feeling of wanting to "do more." I suppose also that I'm passionate about books and reading in general and music but I know plenty of people who are far more passionate than I am about those two things. At first thought I think oh no I'm not passionate about anything but I do care about things. I try to do something about them so to me that means a passion or drive. I don't think you have to be heated over an issue, dedicate your life, or be a gungho asshole to have a passion. And I think you can be passionate about anything. There is no hierarchy or ranking system where one passion means more than another. Say you don't think you are passionate about anything or feel you are lacking. And say you want this to change. You must feel its important if you want to change this, why do you suppose that is? How would you go about becoming passionate? -------------------- Little monkeys making money

I'll be honest, I don't think I am really passionate about anything.
I dabble in a few things, but I don't really have a passion for anything in particular. It's bothered me in the past. A lot of people have things that they always do, not me. I like sports, but just a little. I like hunting, but don't want to do it every weekend. I like computers and programming, but I like to get away from the monitor. And so on... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

electronics. i have this obsession with making every electronic device in my house being able to talk to each other and do something interesting & useful.
chevy muscle cars. while i currently don't have a big enough garage to have a project car, as soon as i do i think the money will shift over from the electronics to the car. entertaining. i love to plan it out, fire up the grill and invite a bunch of people over. |

But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

passionate about learning
passionate about anything concerning my brother... mainly trying to educate people on his illness and helping my family make sure that he will always be safe passionate about being the best at a given task by perfecting the art of it i have no real hobbies at all. I wish I was a dancer or singer or song composer or something.....none of that is me though. passion for me is what i have strong feelings towards and perhaps devote my life to. I have the strongest feelings ever for my brother...its like he is my own son. Big reason why I dont ever want to have kids of my own. I cant imagine being more passionate about something... I think it would hurt This post has been edited by Jessica: Oct 25 2006, 09:03 PM |

wow, I've had so many naming them would be tiring. but right now I am passionate about finding a career and a place to call home.
not a job that pays well...but something that I will want to do for the rest of my life. that will utilize whatever crapass talents I have. that will challenge me, and yet afford me means to provide for my family while not having to work for so long that I never see them. |

No day but today... Group: Members Posts: 773 Joined: 22-February 06 Member No.: 5 |
I've been meaning to reply to this for awhile but haven't had the chance to sit down and really think it out.
I would say the things I'm passionate about involve family. Both the family that I have and getting to see them as much/often as possible as well as the family that I want to have one day. I'm passionate about being a mom. I've never been a mom (or even had a scare) but it's just one of those things that I know I'm going to love and can't wait for the time in my life to be right to make it happen. It's especially strong when I see a mom and her kid and I think "one day that'll be me," like this week at work with so many people buying Halloween candy and all I could think about is "I can't wait until my kids are old enough to take them trick or treating" - and I don't even have kids yet! I guess I just know that the mom life is something I'm destined to experience. I'm also passionate about money when it comes to shopping and getting good deals. Sometimes it's a bad thing because I fear I come off cheap, but there are just some things that I can't do (like $8 movie tickets for example). It's why I shop clearance racks at stores like American Eagle and I absolutely love Kohl's. I still frequent TJ Maxx every time I'm home with my mom and sister (because the one here blows). I guess I'm hoping that this passion one day leads to a comfortable lifestyle and a family with smart money sense. I guess I'm pretty passionate when it comes to Jason too, but everone can insert their own mushy gushy explanations and theories because it's all pretty obvious. -------------------- Forget regret
