Well... for some of you that may be a big shocker... but when one milks cows for fun being called wierd is just part of everyday life. :)

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

I started making a list of what I am "passionate" about a few times here but never posted because it always turns out to be nothing more than a list of my hobbies. So maybe I don't have true passion either, but a lot of interests (some of which come and go) -which I find very fulfilling in and of themselves. :)

The point of this thread isn't my definition of passion, that's for another discussion. The point of the thread was, according to the definition given to me (stated in the first post) and that framing of what a passion is, I don't have one and it seemed to take the guy off guard.

You can BE PERCEIVED as being passionate about some things by others, but still in your heart you know that those things really aren't your passion. Only you know if your PERCEIVED PASSIONATE actions are being appropriately interpreted.

I have no idea if the Titus Woman has a PASSION for farming... only she does. But it would be presumptive of me to interpret her passionate seeming actions as being the presence of a passion. Calling someone's action or reaction passionate is very subjective, and no fact can be built upon it. Only she knows if it is indeed her passion.

I submit that under the framing of the definition given is what I was curious of people's responses.

And that would describe me about a number of things... there are things I might like, enjoy, and find even fulfilling, but none of them are a Passion to me (within the definition of Passion my acquaintance provided).

I still submit, that very few people in this world really have a PASSION, but most have things they enjoy, find fullfilling, and like to do. I submit that a having a PASSION, is a luxury that few get to enjoy.

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

I agree. I pretty much understood your point of view on this from the first post or two.

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

Wow. Well I'm not sure what I have learned about passions of the lack thereof in this thread but I have learned one thing for sure... I am blissfully shallow. I never, ever, ever examine something so deeply from a flippant comment made by an aquaintence. To get my attention enough to make me question myself like this would almost take an intervention... Maybe I need therapy :D
