Passion and Reason

I have lived a part of my life where passion and feelings ruled my decisions.
I have also lived a part of my life where reason alone dictated my choices.
I don’t recommend you try to live by either alone.

Passion and reason must be co-regents in the court of a man or woman’s life. To live by passion alone is to steer blindly into the reefs of foolishness. To live by reason is to aimlessly drift on a still and lonely sea.

Reason scans the horizon, smells the air, tests the wind and sets course by the North Star. Passion, as reason’s companion, provides the drive to sail on through the gales of life and maintains a firm grip on the ship’s wheel. Together, passion and reason steer the course leading home.
