What is your passion in life?

Inner experience.. dreaming, mystical experiences, to just accomplishing something mentally like resolving an old/bad habit.

Outwardly sharing real moments with other people, helping them with their inner stuff, pulling them up to a better place.

I used to care about the fate of this civilization but have abandoned that.. I have interests still, but the passion is gone. All our worldly problems stem from ourselves and each other.. people problems! The only real solution is working on yourself and those you care about.. leave the rest to fate.
 
I have several things i am passionate about. Parrot rescue and how full they are and how few supporters there are donating to them.
I also have a huge passion for treatment for addicts and why there is such a limited number f places out there to offer treatment to those addicts who have limited to no insurance. Treatment facilities that will treat longer then 7 days places that cover helping those in treatment to learn how to live life again live life not immediately needing something as soon as their feet hit the floor in the morning and places that will help those in treatment to be able to be social and learn how to not feel they have to always be on a hustle these type things. Just learn how to be "normal" in their day to day activities work go to school care for their families etc.
The government is so quick to lock up an addict for a syringe and cooker and clog up the court system and not really help anyone because the person will go to court and get a STET and off they go.So why not write a ticket and offer papers on going to treatment Maybe even have enough treatment that a officer can actually give that addict a ride to a center instead of that addict going in filling papers and being told to call back weekly which most know rarely ends up with an addict using that bed.

Why is it people would rather wait until they can say their is a epidemic he numbers have grown for heroin use we must become active in ending it and n their minds that means locking up all they come into contact with. Why do they not deal with Prevention and wok to actually doing something to Help end the situation r take a large chunk out of it and not just put people on the court merry go round

Sorry as stated i am passionate

It's worth all your passion. No apologies needed.<3
 
Sounds strange but it's learning about what consciousness is, and why we're here. I think obsessively about this all day. This is why I'm studying pharmacology (to me it's fascinating how one can change their entire perception with just a few micrograms of of a drug, learning about this is a possible key to learning what consciousness is), write a lot with the intention of one day getting published, and love to learn about everything from the history of philosophy, to chemistry and genetics.

Most people seemingly never bother stopping for a bit and realizing just how much of a headf*** it is that we even exist in the first place. What the hell is this reality? What are these "people"? Are we space junk or infinite beings all connected by a common consciousness? What is the point?

In other words, my passion is trying to stay sane.
 
Still searching for my passion. In all the wrong places, it seems.
 
Is living through experience and not interpretation… of what simply is… happening around me.
Experiencing full range of feelings, like Joy, Love, Sadness, Grief.

I'm feeling again and want to live… move forward, even though years have been smashed with addiction. Although, without suffering the word, 'passion' never really meant anything to me. I once heard the word passion comes from the greek word suffering. They are strongly related perhaps (?).

Getting back into the arts, always my passion --- reading, writing… asking questions… engaging with life, passionate people. I'm not ready to die, not now…
Grateful to delve back into life again, wasn't sure I would have another chance.
 
Experience and different cultures... I have traveled for my interpreting jobs and on Vacation and other countries are just amazing. I absorb everything about the experiences and I learn my position quickly in societies and history etc. I want to do and see as much as I can before I leave the planet.
 
I definitely understand the passion revolving around animals. Nature in general is badass ... so I have a wolf hybrid . Half "out there" half man made dog. Cool balance.
Music, painting , and bonsai trees are definitely passions of mine but my addictions are getting in the way of it all.

I respect your passion... I gave up on thinking about that sort of stuff a long time ago. I believe there is no answer in life nor death to any of those questions. My passion is quitting :P but not drugs. mer.
 
My passions:

doing my job well
making myself slow down and smell the roses (tough for me...)
dogs
being understood
communication with people
coffee
feeling healthy (not mastered all levels of this yet...)
Being in control (not mastered this at most levels yet either... Has anyone though?)
being a good person by MY definition
defining what it is to be good so I can do my best to live it under my terms
taking care of my friends/family
 
My passion is drugs. But I don't mean I want to be fucked up daily - I actually keep my drug exploration very moderate. I'm passionate about studying psychopharmacology and understanding the biochemical basis for drug effects as well as how the brain functions normally. I read chemistry and organic chemistry and biology textbooks for fun.

I suppose I have a big thirst for knowledge in general. I used to read math and physics textbooks for fun! I'm currently an engineer because that was what I was interested in when I started university. I wish I had discovered psychedelics a few years earlier; my schooling and career would have taken a completely different path. It's definitely not too late to start over now, in fact I'm planning to return to school within the next 2 years (after saving up some more $$$) to obtain a pharmacy degree, and then either become a pharmacist or move on to pharmacology graduate school and research.

But yes, understanding drugs is my passion.
