passions

Due to the natural cycle of experiences, learned behavior, revelations, depressions and relapses into either or, it seems rather clear why we want what we cannot have and want it not when we do achieve it. Age has everything to do with the matter, and only those who are able to grow prematurely, and enlighten the truths of the world to themselves as quickly, accurately and insincerely as possible are able to become prominent in this jungle of inhabitants. The passion must be insincere only by definition that those who are able to succeed in their passions by means of a philosophy that is precocious, must be insincere. Sincerity comes only when age matches with suitable mental health or state. However, this is not the case for many, and many are left not precocious, but rather late and tardy in this race for the quickest mental health, and I suppose there is where the balance fits. Is the ten year old which wishes to become a firefighter sincere in his passion? By any and all means, heavens no! He knows not of the firefighter's duties, calls, roles, hardships, training or even schooling, and thus by this measure he is precocious. But because age is a driving force stronger than most passions, by the time he is eighteen, he has learned that whatever his passion was is not no more because quite suitably, his mental age has changed. And yet, follow the boy which is able to keep his passion despite what his mental age becomes (and notice that this "mental age" is merely created by the self conscious rambling of his peers and elders), and see how far his passion will take him. My friends, it is a deeply rooted passion which drives diligence; passion which drives intelligent routine; passion which drives the hard work required to succeed; but only a passion which is able to supersede the mental age of his peers. Because in most cases passion falls on a tier lower than our insecurities and fears.
