Journal: Passions -------------------------------------------Mood: The Usual I realize now, that man’s natural progression could never begin by giving up, by biting one’s thumb in nihilistic ecstasy. For passion cannot be found in settling for a life that is less than one is capable of living.
I will pursue all of my dreams. To do otherwise, would allow the corruption of “my life”; a process which would inevitably extinguish the passions which give live meaning. Such a corruption is all too common in these modern times. Some simply give up at the first hint of resistance; some will seek a pension rather than a passion; and the rest will be run down imperceptible degrees until they lose their fire, never knowing when or how it disappeared.
I currently face a persistent messaging which paints a lack of convictions as maturity, a lack of values as security, and lack of self-reliance as practicality. And so, in face of this, I will strive to keep my passions by giving them shape, purpose and reality. For it is those who accomplish their passions that have lived up to the nobler parts of human nature and life’s meaning.
