I guess the question really is, as others are suggesting, can passion be faked, and is it worth doing so. Is it wiser to be honest and admit that we are not passionate about something, and be 'true to ourselves'... our choice, or is it better to attempt to be passionate about all things. You asserted in this post in the
Character & Contribution Forum, in your thread,
How far would you go to succeed financially… ???:
'And as far as Warren Buffet is concerned... I did read up a little on the guy
and I find him as boring as rain on a Monday morning... sorry... he does not turn me on...'
So it seems it is pointless to fake passion, and that circumstances and choices do play an integral part in being passionate. As you state, somethings just don't turn us on. Unless you just chose at that time, to lead a 'boring as rain on a Monday morning, meaningless life' and in that instant became 'governed by the whimsical effects of circumstances...'
