When Love Becomes a Prison
Think about the last time you felt truly alive. Chances are, you weren't carefully balancing your time between work, family, hobbies, and self-care. You were probably completely absorbed in something-so consumed that hours felt like minutes. That's passion at work. But here's what nobody tells you: the same force that creates our most transcendent moments can also destroy us. Passion sits at a crossroads between fulfillment and obsession. It can liberate or imprison, elevate or devastate. Consider Elizabeth Holmes, the Stanford dropout whose passion for revolutionizing healthcare through Theranos seemed inspiring-until her $9 billion company collapsed amid massive fraud charges. Or Jeffrey Skilling, Enron's CEO who valued passion above all else, creating a culture so obsessively performance-driven it led to corporate fraud. These weren't villains from the start. They were brilliant, driven individuals whose passion gradually twisted into something toxic. The word "passion" itself reveals this duality. For nearly a millennium, it meant "suffering"-specifically Christ's crucifixion torture. To wish passion upon someone would have been cruel, not inspirational. Only in the 1970s did "follow your passion" become motivational gospel. Yet passion and suffering remain intertwined, because anything we love enough can hurt us. The question isn't whether to be passionate-it's how to harness passion without being consumed by it.
