Not looking for a feeling, but I'm a black and white guy. And the definition he gave was pretty black and white, and there's really nothing that fits that for me.
My overall point, was this guy's reaction to me saying that I didn't have a passion, and that I thought many people I knew didn't have one was like..."that's horrible. They're missing out on so much of life." And I found his response to be sort of condescending.
He made it sound as if unless there was something you are passionate about in life, that your missing out, and I know so many that are examples of the opposite.
There's nothing wrong with just living life day to day, doing what your supposed to do, fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of the day and doing right by people, and then going to bed and doing it all over again the next day.
I know some people that are passionate about fitness... it consumes them. Some about their hobbies. Some about their family or cooking... and bully for them. More power to them if they feel that's good for them... but not everyone has that... and there's nothing wrong with that... I suppose that's what I'm trying to say.

Your aquaintence was probably not condecending he was probably incredulous.
Passion:
Synonyms
1. Strong feeling, fervor, zeal, ardor.
Antonyms
1. apathy.
Perhaps you are a little depressed. Therapy maybe? You are quite a young man to just plod along doing what is right with little joy in it. No judgement here Bro. Robbins just a sincere desire to not see you at the end of life having not really experienced it to the fullest. Christ came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
Peace to you.
