Passion

Everyone has passion, whether or not it lasts a long time or not, it always takes over a part of us somehow. Passion is taking that first bite into the rich double chocolate cake, its taking your first step onto that baseball field. Passion is falling in love, unfortunately, it doesn't last. When passion takes over your life, you would do anything, you would give up everything for your emotions. Its the best feeling you will ever experience. Once its gone, you don't think you could ever go through the same thing again. Passion can bring joy, happiness, pain, confusion, and even fear. In Ancient Greek terms passion [(πάσχω) (paskho)] means to suffer, and we find that passion can make us suffer at times too. Why is it that whenever we find something we love, we always have to lose it? Well the truth is, if you have passion for something, the passion will die down and things will start to go down hill. Little do we know, this is the beauty of passion. Once the passion dies down and things start to go wrong, we should know that it will pass and the real love will start to take toll. As passion goes down, love begins to get stronger.
Now there is a tricky side to passion. It can fool you into thinking your in love, and once you start to lose it, all you want to do is give up. Overcoming this is the hardest part. Because passion is so strong it causes us to think in ways we never have. This is why we find ourselves changing over time. Or are we not changing? Maybe we are going back to the way we were before, Maybe the passion was changing us and now that its gone, we go back to the normal person we were once before it took over. We will never fully understand what passion does to us or what we are capable of but we will always be put under its spell, whether we like it or not.
