What’s Your Passion?
Somebody recently emailed me via one of my social networks and asked me, “What’s your passion?”
I suppose I’d never really considered it very much before, as I’m pretty passionate about everything I find myself involved in, from what kind of shoes I wear, to why I have a particular disrespect for people of certain cultural or political standpoints.
I had to stop and think for a minute, and then I composed the following answer, which I feel should make quite clear to people, exactly what kind of man I am.
Anyway, since I have this little section of my blog set aside for me and mine, I thought I’d include it for others to read, comment on, and consider for themselves, just what it is they’re passion might be.
So, here’s my response, then, to the question, “What’s your passion?” for all to see.
My passion is making sure that when I exit the world, I leave behind a chain of people who are not the same as they were when they first met me; who feel better having known me, and, moreover, whose minds I’ve changed from a state of sociological and political inertness, to a stance of active participation; whilst instilling into such, the invaluable understanding that ONE person CAN make a difference to the world, today and tomorrow, – ONE person at a time; and penultimately, that things don’t have to be the way they are now, or the way they seem they may or might be tomorrow, because we CAN change the future ONE person at a time.
To think any other way, to believe ONE can do nothing because ONE is JUST ONE person, is to enable the nastier section of humanity to win at their game.
And, finally, as a father, a husband, a brother, and a friend, I don’t want them to win.
