Passion, Way Back 1995-2010

Zaldy Carreon De Leon Jr.

There is no better thing in this world than to understand your passion. If a man lives in his full age and has not accomplished something out from these, he never lived. If a man declined to put his words into living poems, he never had a beautiful chance of being a poet. If a man had been sung the songs of his heart, he missed that golden opportunity to become a musician.

In truth, a man who finds time for his passion is better than a man who lives without it. For as a philosopher says it is an unexamined life. But a life that has been passionate is worthy of honor for he has created something out of his or her vain life. Thus passion becomes the torch that lights upon the darkness.

Let those people who say that what he was doing is just merely a vanity. Let that vanity be vain to them. But be not distracted or be angry at them, they don’t just understand how it is to become a poet, an artist or a musician. Vanity is just a matter of their opinion, but the truth remains that whatever they say they would never contradict what is real.

In the first place, what are these people saying that what you are doing is vanity are doing with their own lives? If they were doctor, or whoever thus, should they say that being an artist is inferior to what they are doing in our society?

Indeed, that is a matter of pure speculation based on opinion. What matter most is that you have the passion very alive in your soul. As long as you have that seed in you, it would remain a garden of fresh wit and flowering words and fragrant expressions.

Whatever a doctor, a teacher, or a garbage man does, that is passion. Whatever they do be it ignorable by the society, or good, we don’t have the right to stop them except however if they become deviant. If they stop, they never lived up to see the results of their beautiful acts. Therefore, no one is allowed to belittle a person in respect of their aptitude.
