Passionen

Michael har postat ännu en av sina miljoner notes där han betraktar och ger giftiga injektioner till samhället och människor som inte är som honom. Kortfattat vad denna handlade om:

"To squeeze this thesis into one line, I turn to a quote by Pablo Picasso whom said:
'Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.'"


Och Linda svarar:
"I like how I begin my days, without coffee, by reading your notes. My head gets messed up right from the start of the day!

Anyway, I agree with this but somehow I also want to believe that more people than you'd think actually follow their dreams, but I guess what you want to point out as well is that even if people follow their dreams to some extent they're still compromising, and I suppose that is the true problem as well. What scares me the most in a conversation has always been the 'I don't know what I want to do, I'm not really interested in anything special' because to me, without passion there simply is no meaning. I think that we're sort of taught to be modest about passion, because feel or give too much about something you're passionate about will turn you into an overly eccentric and 'strange' person who doesn't follow the oh so important norm (a person who can't contribute to the whole fall in line-work-earn proper money-aid your society as everyone else).

But it's beautiful when people just don't care and do what they want to anyway. That, in itself, is a form of passion to me."



Och av någon anledning så sitter jag här och purrar inombords. Linda är bara så bra ibland, och jag vet inte varför. Det kanske är kaffet och IAMXs fel.

Jag purrar med dig, chér. Särskilt nu när jag också har kaffkaffkaffe tillgängligt och en bok som är spännande och farlig här bredvid.
