Passion Unchecked
by Miki Saxon
Last spring I wrote that passion sustains me and keeps my writing, but that even passion needs a day off now and then.
But what happens with there is no day off; when passion is continually cranked up?
When passion runs wild it can lose touch with reality.
You can see the aftermath of unchecked passion in companies whose positional leaders were so focused on their vision that they allowed nothing to stand in the way and the political leaders who are more focused on spreading their ideology than fixing their country.
Passion unchecked yields freely to fanaticism.
Fanaticism obliterates humanity.
