Love
and politics in a cynical age
A
doting father is not simply surprised when his little girl grows
up, he is crushed. His love may have an invisible price tag that
sounds a shrill alarm when she edges toward independence,
planting the notion that without his vigilant ardor
she can never feel
safe. He will always be there for her—as long as she still
worships him, still turns only to him for solace and wisdom.--
Victoria Secunda, U.S. psychologist and author
Passion
(from Latin verb patior meaning to suffer or to endure) is an
emotion applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing.
Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or
desire for something. The term is also often applied to a lively
or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or
activity or love. Passion can be expressed as a feeling of
unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion towards a
subject, idea, person, or object. A person is said to have a
passion for something when he has a strong positive affinity for
it. A love for something and a passion for something are often
used synonymously.
