Conventional wisdom portrays passion as a fiery, untamed force that drives individuals to defy societal norms in pursuit of their burning desires. However, I found beauty in a gentler interpretation of passion. It’s the quiet joy of a peaceful Sunday morning, savoring the warmth of two steaming cups of coffee. It’s sitting by a crackling fire in a cozy cottage, surrounded by snow-covered scenery. It’s the fulfillment derived from discovering your true purpose in life. Through layers of soft blues and cloud-like textures, I found that “unreasonable passion” can be a serene and purposeful force, guiding us toward a life of meaning and contentment.
“Why else
are we here if not
to live with unreasonable
passions for things.”
