      Jul 22 2012: I do agree that there is too much apathy in today's world. Where I see passion is in the eyes of terrorists who have given up reason for ideology, or as they would probably believe, for God.
      Passion comes in many flavors. The two masks of drama, comedy and tragedy, were derived from the worship of the god Dionysus. As a god associated with wine, his followers were naturally passionate and prone to dramatic action.
      But passion is too irrational. To love or hate from within a feeling of passion causes over action.
      I suggest that acting from a position of calm commitment based on responsibility and transparency would be better than passion.
