Your statement reminded me of an old post I wrote:
raccaldin36: Tranquility and Passion
I say, "Tranquility is objective, standing on a rock watching a waterfall. Passion is subjective, riding the waterfall from the cliff to the splash, and thrilling all the way down. Tranquility is harmony, the resonance of a single note from the piano. Passion is power, the reverbrations of drumbeats in a marching band.... Tranquility is a bubbling brook, a river running its course. Passion is a whirlpool, rapids, the eroding away of the banks and the rocks. Tranquility is the sky, simple and beautiful. Passion is the storm, a tornado, a hurricane."
