Passion is an all too powerful drive. It can make you do things you won’t usually do. And most of the time, these things are the same things you’ll regret when passion subsides.
Anger, for example, is a strong feeling of extreme displeasure. When mixed with alcohol, it can cause a husband to hit his wife. Husband gets sober and tells her, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to”. Lust, a strong sexual desire, can push you to screw the one you like. But when you contract STD or get her pregnant, I bet you’ll regret everything. And love, a strong feeling of affection, can enable you to do so many things – even death. But even if you regret things, you know it still stands. The act was done and it can’t be undone.
Control is important. There is a value in restraint. But nobody said it was easy – a line from The Scientist. If everything was, we’ll all be living in a happy world.
Passion is infinite. Control is not. When Control dies, Passion continues. And we’ll go back searching for the person we want to be. When we think we already found the one, we’ll realize that that person is not the one we want to be. Because like Passion, discontentment is infinite.
Oftentimes, we’ll regret Passion. But this thing that we regret is the same, exact thing that we’ll all need to continue to live, to survive. That’s what makes Passion an all too powerful drive. This piece ends here because Control is important.
