#passion

Primal #Passion. Powerful #Alphas. #Unforgettable #Heat. Just what you need for September. I have it all right here for you.

Go do the thing that lights you up today. Play one song. Write one line. Build one small thing. Passion isn't a lightning bolt, it's a fire you feed one log at a time. ?? #Passion

#FollowTheMoney 🧵56/n

• nurses, art gallery workers, conservation NGOs, academics, etc - all these jobs that people do out of love for something/one are poorly paid. Love is exploited. More love = less money.

Only love of money itself and nothing else is rewarded with money (high salaries, bonuses, etc). Maybe not surprising - what do you expect in capitalism - but not much honesty about it. All that neoliberal motivational #Passion talk (“my work is my passion”) - exploitative bollocks.

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld Absence weakens ordinary passions, but inflames great ones, as the wind extinguishes a candle, but fans a fire.   [L’absence diminue les médiocres passions, et augmente les grandes, comme le vent éteint les bougies et allume le feu.] François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶276 (1665-1678) [tr. Stevens (1939)] More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra… #quote #quotes #quotation #qotd #larochefoucuald #absence #apart #fire #flames #love #passion #relationship #separation
