Fire & Ice
"Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace.
A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes
all the old things it finds in its path.
No one wants their life
thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under
control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure
that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.
Other
people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a
second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their
problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and
blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric
because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something
unexpected has just ruined everything.
Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?
I don't know."
