The passion (get up, brush your shoulders and walk on).

For anything to happen there has to be a transfer or change or conversion of Energy. - A transfer from one type of energy to another type - potential to kinetic.

The laws of physics and thermodynamics has been the basis of today's technology. We learn about it when we are as young as 10 years old. Yet, in all its practicality, we fail to, at times, apply it on our inner life. The energy that fuels our life is the PASSION. A passionate person is often one filled with life and fire in the eyes. Eg, an environmentalist is the most passionate around nature and lights up like a bulb in environmental activities. A dull person, on the other hand, does not have much passion in life. How then, can we manipulate this passion that we all have to benefit us in life? Humans have been converting black coal to fuel cities, manipulating electricity to cook and even harvest solar energy. Surely there are ways to manipulate ourselves.

Relationships is one of the strongest sources of passion. We do things that we can never imagine we can, get learn things that we never have dreamt of, we experience moments that we never thought were humanly possible, our passion ignites in bursts. Yet, such passion can be uncontrollable and if one plays with fire, they risk getting burn.

The side effect of too much passion is also stated in the laws of physics. The higher you go, they worse the fall will be. Relationships can turn sour, making the most passionate lovebirds into passionate haters. The sweet and bliss you have tasted will haunt you when you taste bitterness and breakups. Being too 'naked' with passion leaves one armourless and the passion backfired, one wished that the relationship and passion should never had started in the first place.

After countless hours of lonely thoughts, confiding to close friends and families, playing back sad breakup songs and fits of anger and cursing towards the other party, time eventually heal. One becomes better and soon, forgive and forgets. However, in a modern world like today, how much time do we have to let the slow process of healing take place? How much passion in life are we losing out? How much energy is being wasted on futile thoughts? Can we speed the healing up by converting this passion to more productive things? I say yes.

Humans have only one brain, we do multi-tasking but it is only when we are focused on something, things can happen. After a recent break-up, i decided to get up, brush my shouders and walk on. I channelled the passion, that would have been used to cast voodoo on the other person, question myself what have i done wrong, think of ways to be a better man in the future and stupid bouts of depression, to things that will take my one brain off the loser behaviors.

I read, Dan Brown is awesome. I draw, as it is about time to pick up the pencil again before i lose the 'touche'. I breathe and thought... it may be a blessing in disguise as i have learnt alot. I made sure that my heart is feeling justified and tell my friends to shut up if they bring that sensitive topic up again (till i feel confortable opening that Pandora's Box and laughed about it). I get up, brush my shouder and walk on. I go back to the life i love and had, before the relationship. I conserve the passion, and tell myself that a worthier one will come.

If someone tell you that you will only have one Great Love in you life, if lucky, two... tell them to shut up. The ones that no longer, are no longer considered a Great Love. We NEED one Great Love and will constanly grow if the one you thought is the One, happens to be not, so that when the Great Love appears... you will be ready to receive.

It's only the other party's lost if you can get up quickly, brush your shoudlers and walk on ahead.
