Using My Time

Questions

What is your passion? What's mine? Do you follow yours, or just push it to the side? Is it something noble, like feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, healing the sick? Something less serious, like cooking, painting, playing the guitar? Do you hope to making a living out of it, or just do it as an aside? Do you like talking about your passion? Does anyone like to listen? If they laugh, does it matter? Does it consume your life, or does it just add to your life? If your passion was taken away would your life be less fulfilling? Would it even matter?

How do you find your passion?

I don't know yet. I mean, there's all the trite answers, but really, I don't know yet. Except maybe learning. I really like to learn. I like communicating too. But those are sort of general. You do those things WHILE you're doing your passion.

Do we like to talk about our passions? Maybe the things we like to talk about are our passions? So philosophy, friends, books, music, style and design, business, Jesus. So those are my passions? And that makes yours... gun control? Lol remember that conversation in the lunchroom that day? Funny stuff. I actually believed you were against the right to bear arms. I thought you were nuts. Amazingly, we're still friends. But hey, back to what I was saying. You don't talk about much passionately, or much at all. You really liked Mythology for a while, and Greek. Are those your passions?

Are you planning on answering your own questions?

I like to listen to people talk about their passions. In fact, I find people who aren't passionate about what they talk about -- or who aren't passionate about something -- I find them really boring.

Ok see, I'm still talking, four paragraphs later. It's a really involved question. It might be more interesting in person, when we can dialogue passionately. See you sooooon.

Steve - I certainly hope it isn't too sad, since I am in the same boat, as they say.

Galen - You really shouldn't have a commnent be longer than the original post. :) I'm not planning on posting answers to these questions, at least not anytime soon, since I don't know what I would write for my answer. But no, Greek nor mythology are passions of mine, just passing interests.
