thought provoking as always Justin. Gonna challenge you a bit on this one tho...
i dont fully agree "passion" is always so ephemeral. Two ppl being physically passionate for each other is mostly transient because interests in physique are mostly short-lived. The object of the passion or curiosity matters more than the subtle difference between the two words. One can be passionate or curiosity about the mind, the character, the life of another person or about a legal career, because these are all matters with depth. It is difficult for one to stay passionate or curious physically towards another much like one can't be passionate or curious about Rock Paper Scissors, there's just not enough to it after the initial excitements.
i guess im saying, curiosity is great, passion doesn't suck so badly. Still somewhat inter-changeable to me, but both are necessary for a relationship or career in the long run.
So well articulated - I like the way you zoomed in & zoomed out. Curiosity is a superpower & using it to foster conviction followed by constant investment is indeed a receipe for joy.
You’ve put a vague feeling I’ve had about relationships for a while perfectly into words. Thank you Justin.
