To do the things you have always wanted to do no matter what other people think?
To lose time completely while you are completely involved with your focus on what you desire to do?

This question is open enough to include enlightenment as passionate. It's kind of why I wrote it.

It is better to burn out than fade away. The burn means you gave it your all, with passion. To fade, you could do that from day one with absolutely no effort: lame.
My beliefs promote passion by driving me to seek truths that will last a lifetime and leave a legacy. I do things that make each day worthwhile, worth the sacrifices I make and help others.
I ALWAYS say, if you have a burning desire to do things you've always wanted to do, then that is God's or the "universe's" way of directing you so that you live a purposeful existence. So,YES it is better to do what you've always wanted to do regardless of what others think
About your last line, I believe that when you are focused and completely involved it is for a time and a season, not forever. To achieve anything good and long lasting, yes some things are going to have to be sacrificed and time won't be COMPLETELY lost. Greatness takes such in order to come into being.
Wow. You're deep. Is it a drug-free deepness? (smile) Mine is. Just loving life and striving for grace.

That is a good Def Leppard song, but I don't know if it applies to life in the real world. To guess, I would say "burn out". We should all be passionate until the very end. My beliefs hold higher expectations for everyone, including myself. If you want something to happen you have to at least take a step toward making it happen every day. Most things happen little by little over time, but even one brush stroke a day over time will produce a finished painting.

Lets be REAL okay, now follow my line of thought and perhaps you will have a new idea on this, On calvary on the cross Jesus the second member of the Godhead, now that thief we know that accepted Jesus offer of Life, why bring that up, cause the nails are THE ONLY difference between you and him, you and me live in a world where everyone dies, in fact like the thief you are as good as Dead right now, so how much passions and desires does a dead person really need, how about getting into God's passion, what is that do you ask, "For God [The Father] "SO" loved the world [you and me] that He gave His only son [Jesus gave Himself] that whosoever should BE-LIVE in Him should not perish but have everlasting life, Now THAT is passion, your passion is as follows "IF" you love me keep my commandments Jn 3:16, Jn 14:15, IF you love Him enough to keep His commandments you and God can talk about passion and what ever FOREVER if not, what difference will it make. free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com EMAIL "NOT" messanger me wgr88@yahoo.com God bless you

Buddhism is ambivalent towards passion. On the one hand one should overcome passion for materialist desires but at the same time one should be passionate in pursuing enlightenment.

I love mysticism. To be a mystic you have to live your life and your passion must show you the way, but I don't think fading out is bad in anyway except if your heart tells you otherwise.
