confused!!

Let me admonish the reader from before that what you read ahead might lead you to abhor me acutely. Probably the acrimonious debate with myself over certain questions has left me exasperated coveting for the storm to abate but alas! It’s all in vain.

The question is “Is there a basis for passion?” if yes, then does it mean that by rational plausible explanation one can convince oneself to be passionate about anything and everything? If no, then how does one rationally move towards achieving the set goals and in fact how does one become rational at all? Most of the times one would say that they are passionate about something because they “like” it. It’s like saying I’m passionate because I’m passionate. So it seems liking something is a “just-like-that” business. Obviously here I am using “like” synonymous to passion and not interest. Being interested and being passionate are two very different things.  If there is someone who feels they can make long term plans but not short term ones kindly let me know. Because that would mean that they have rejected the dynamic nature of immediate chain of events creating an impact over their lives. This doesn’t seem plausible to me. Holding that thought, the ones who feels that they do not have long term plans but short term ones are leaving their life to chance. This is a strange dilemma. The immediate question is how is one supposed to live then? Aimless?  Is there a need to have an aim? Wouldn’t you feel wasted without doing anything? In fact you really can’t do nothing as such. Ahh…I stand confused….
