 Passion |

|
"Abandon learning and there will be no sorrow." |
|

|
"We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion." |

The word passion comes from the Latin passio, meaning "I suffer". Early Fathers of the Church believed that the Book of Job foreshadowed the Passion of Christ , which was his humiliation, torture, and crucifixion at the hands of the Roman authorities. Is love love without passion? Why has this word lost it's first meaning? What animal doesn't feel pain?, is passion our oldest emotion as human beings?, is it the emotion that made us human? Why is the issue of pain central to the world's surviving religions? |
