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.

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
