How would you discribe passion? how would you paint it, or dance it. I know it means ardor, love, but much more. does it mean that you feel so much, you couold die for it? So is suicide an act of passion?

We humans like to think we're rational. But there are some things that we can't control about ourselves. Our passions are the things we can't help but feel. A passion could be anything -- work, poetry, being in love, running, boxing, biking, shopping.
I also think our passions tell us who we are. Yo-Yo Ma is passionate about his music, and he's very good at it, so he's one of the best cellists in the world.
People want passions, because people want their lives to mean something. And there are plenty of passions that people are willing to die for. Look at religious zeal, love for food, thrill seeking and other potentially dangerous things. Sometimes, people want or need to be out of control.
I think suicide can be an act of passion. But I bet that when people take their lives, the overriding emotion is desperation.

Given the following information:
Crime Of Passion
It is a term used to define a crime which is commited by an individual in the form of assault or murder against a spouse or a lover out of jealousy or heratbreak and is not a preplanned crime.Example- when a husband discovers his wife is having affair with another man out of jealousy he can murder her.Crime of passion is used as a measure by the defending attorney to request the judge to have a leninet approach in pronouncing the verdict...
Then yes the act of suicide, although not a good idea, would fall into that catagory. It is important to realize that although it is usually applied to a "love or sex" situation, any mind consuming
want or wish can be viewed as a PASSION

Suicide is not an act of passion or compassion It is a totally selfish action with selfish motivation.. There is no love story in suicide. For if he or she was filled with passion then it would have been expressed itself in a totally different manner and invoke a totally different response.
