On a brighter note + Passion Resonance

Oh well, turns out that things are heading for the better XD
Nevertheless, there are still things to be done.
Not sure how long I can last, but I'll make sure I get it right, even if I have to sell my soul...
-----
How can passion be passed on from one person to another?
I mean, to get someone to love something that you love, to find the joy like you can, to feel the emotions like you feel?
Surely it won't be as simple as saying "You will be passionate about this because you will love it". Its like a ridiculous argument, taking the common definition of passion to be loving something.
Then that's like, impossible unless you are God, isn't it?
Or is it?
By making someone go down the same route like you did?
By sharing what ignited your love in the first place?
By showing the fruits of your passion?
Tried, tested, largely failed...
My take is that Passion can only be found on the journey of self-discovery,
to find what resonates with your heart, mind and soul.
It is pointless and maybe even counterproductive for others to show you how you can develop your Passion, as it doesn't come from your innate self and will never sustain and survive the test of time and difficulties.
In simple terms, Passion can only be self-taught, and no teacher is better at it than yourself.
It requires two parties, You and the subject.
It is a form of communication, emotional and even spiritual connection between the two, even if the subject is non-living or intangible.
It is when you know your true innate potential cannot be fully realised without the subject, and is uncontrollably attracted to it, when true Passion starts to burn.

But be wary, for Passion, like a flame, may burn itself out.
When young, Passion can be easily extinguished by traumas or distractions.
Yet, when it grows too huge and out of control, it scorches the soul and others around it.
Trust a person, who has been through these phases many times over.

Still learning to control my flame...
