I personally believe that only a precious few are born with a unique but all consuming passion... and that the rest of us are more polyvalent and can have multiple passions...

And, I also believe that the essence of an evolved person is determined by self-mastery... and, self-mastery means the capacity to make our choices and take our decisions on a rational basis determined by internal factors... with little influence being generated by external factors or circumstances...

Which is to say... that we should be able to decide what our personal consuming passion will be... and that we should be able to increase that passion at will... if not, we are reduced to a robotic state and being manipulated by outside influences...
