Passion feels very democratic. It is the people's talent, available to all. It's also mostly bullshit.
by Scott Adams
(0 Reviews)

The quote suggests that passion is something that everyone can access, bringing to light the idea that talent is not exclusive and can be found in a diverse range of people. This sentiment of democracy in talent implies that anyone has the potential to pursue their interests and succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. However, the quote also hints at skepticism, questioning the true value of passion in achieving success.

By labeling much of it as "bullshit," the author, Scott Adams, is likely critiquing the overemphasis on passion in discussions about success. He seems to caution against the notion that simply having passion is enough without practical skills, hard work, and strategic thinking. In his view, passion alone may not be the decisive factor in achieving meaningful goals, underscoring the complexities of success beyond just following one’s interests.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
