Passion or obsession
Passion or obsession the line between them are very thin. Passion defined as "A powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger". Obsession defined as "Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety, often unreasonable idea or emotion." what makes them so close yet so far away? The thing is that people decide whether they choose to do one or the other or at least once in their life. Passion, what passion to a person what makes a person passionate about something that they are extremely willing to give up the world to devote them self to the passion. But what is the difference between passion and obsession or should I say what makes or pushes us over that border. We know the all has failed but we don't want to walk away that we refuse to believe that there is no hope for our passion that it becomes an obsession. But when do you give up how do you know that it is truly over? How do you know that there is absolutely nothing that you can do? How do you walk away for something that you care so much for that you have invested so much time, effort, and at times even tears? How do you face the world that you fought with so much to gain that which you’re so passionate about? That is when a person is faced with a choice leave your passion walk away or obsession fighting the world and they are the ones winning but you refuse to give up. But how can you tell if it’s an obsession or you just waiting for the right moment that a little flame is left but is carefully put away for the right moment. how do you know? When there is no hope when there is no possibility coming from anywhere when it's not humanly possible to do it either alone or with someone, anyone. The question is now what do you do when there is hope but you have you hands tied? Give Up?
