Is it not great when you feel passionate about something? When I feel passion I get a "free" driving force to add energy and time on certain "things" or someone.
What is really passion?
Passion is anger and love combined. Someone / something that you are irritated or feel "anger" over and anything / anyone you desire or feel love for. These two elements are combined. The more passion you feel the more you want to accomplish, the more anger and love you feel.
BUT!
When the passion fails and you want to pursue forward it is the discipline that counts!
You don't know anything, but you want to. You want to blog about things as deep as the meaning of passion. You have my respect, because you actually did something. But still, you don't know anything about the material.
ReplyDeleteAnger is a cosmic force that we experience. We do not need to personalize it, to own it, or to say that we are it. The next time you're angry, see if you can say with the same objectivity that you are angry, just as if you could say that you are hot or you are cold.Otherwise, you surrender your true self to the response.
Passion? I've been passionate with a woman with no anger whatsoever.
Discipline? Look at the events that pull you away from good daily routines, and look at how disciplined we are.
Welcome to the human struggle. Keep up the good work.
You’re right I don’t know much, but that I don’t know anything.. Implying that you know better, that’s ego talking man, comparing… (just from a bit of text…)
ReplyDeleteThis writing of mine is full of ego thoughts, yes I know… passion in my view involves the ego and a drive that it is bother by.. And somehow want to change.
Passion and your true inner self, that’s another thing. That´s deep, and I´m humble enough to understand that I need to learn (a lot) more!
I´m talking of the name ‘passion’ as something like a driving force (with the ego as a central role), the will, inspiration and passion to accomplish something!
Being rich (with money for example), you ego for example want to redeem yourself, it want to show the world blab la.. More and more of the same.. status and so on.. Anyway.. anyhow.. Something is bothering you, being poor when young or whatever.
The “passion” (still ego running you) for a women is only there until you conquer her, the drive to get inside her pants, touching her and so on. When you ego goals are met you lose interest. I´m not talking about spiritual openness, and awareness.
Passionate with a woman with no anger involved? Are you sure? It wasn´t just love, pure love? Attraction, polarization? I think I never felt ‘passion’ for a woman. In that case more like horny by her looks or something. Seeing it as a “win” if I get her.. The harder the better.. But there is an deeper love to be found. Appreciating her wisdom, for who she are or has accomplish, her kindness, her kind heart or whatever.., . For me the word “Passion” involves something you want to change.. When passion dies out discipline must take over… unless you found peacefulness (tranquility, serenity and so on) and are in a state of pure love.
Yesery, I´m still struggling with my ego.
To recap: My word definition of passion involves ego, and therefore is a combination of what I´ve described. You seem to have another description of passion, and that’s fine by me. How do you describe passion?
I think you´re right about anger being some sort of “cosmic force”, but I also think you´re talking about the “ego”. About being able to disconnect from the ego and becoming aware that it is your ego that (normally) controls your feelings and so on. Being able to take a step back and become aware of its action. That the ego is an ancient part of the primate brain. Used to give us courage and fight and fly behavior in an ancient time.. We are still the same simple humans. Becoming aware about the ego is a first step. Continuing developing our awareness and so on.. All this takes time.
Want me to read something? Give it to me? I´m open for new ideas..
Suggestions from me? Read something of Eckhart Tolle, but you´ve probably already been reading it already, talking about your inner true self, right?
Your advice regards ‘Discipline’. I´m on a simplifying stroke, I feel (if we talk in such simple terms) that I´m on the right path. Trying (ARE!) to change my (bad procrastination) habits.
Thanks for your comment! Best regard!
Loved your blog. I can't help but wonder what would make a person angry at you, when they obviously have a passion for you. Is that Love?? Confused.
