A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.</p> <p>No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.</p> <p>Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.</p> <p>Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?</p> <p>I don’t know.”</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes</em>http://baris.tv/post/13422181780http://baris.tv/post/13422181780Sun, 27 Nov 2011 17:45:00 -0500paulo coelhopassionlove<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luzebeuGFr1qa9jjqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>By Ricardo B.
