PASSION AND PASSIVITY

            ‘An uncritical life is not worth living’ said the great Greek philosopher Socrates. It means to live a life lovingly and critically. Let me explain the title.Passion is the drive that forces human being in accomplishing a particular task with greatest love and desire. Passivity is the reflectivity in the accomplishment of the task. As human, human being always worries about and broods over in completing tasks but rarely he/she reflects on the completed tasks for furthering better performance of the tasks. Passivity also calls for what he/she is doing is in conformity with or meeting the expectations of the standards of the community and society at large.

PASSION	PASSIVITY
Chosen	Cultivated
Maximum Pull to act	Maximum reflection in the action
Untimely act	Occupies time
Accompanied by love and desire	Accompanied by ambition

         Passion is a call to live life and passivity is living that life call critically. When both passion and passivity reflect in the accomplishment of the task,  marvels of harmony, peace and fruitfulness happen. As such both should go hand in hand. No domination of one over the other. They promise life to the full without compromise which human being looks forward to. Let us be then passionate about being critical and at the same I can critically evaluate my passion.
