passion

Description

Passion is the fervent dance that sets one’s inner kiln ablaze, only to roast oneself to ashes. Hailed as a beacon illuminating lofty ideals, in truth it functions as a smokescreen obscuring all vision. Claimed to be the force that moves others, its main ingredients are self-absorption and abdication of responsibility. Ultimately deprived of its fuel, passion collapses into mere ash, quietly fading into oblivion.
