What is love? To look after someone? Allow someone to take care of you? Doing things that you love perhaps means to do any act in the way that satisfied you, with care and professionalism and curiosity to discover new opportunities that will allow your creation to become even better, beautiful, useful, healthy.

Love, for me, is the continuous curiosity, which allow you to see old things in new light, to uncover new ones that remain in your heart and do not ever forget that nobody and nothing is perfect, neither you nor the things that you love and you need to forgive each other.

If you noticed, I'm not talking about male-female relations, I'm not talking about love and relationships. I talk about love when inhaling and exhaling. About love as the only possible form of the existing. Love, which is indeed an engine and power and leverage and feather-bed and stone - corner, and there are the lifeblood.

This love can not exist without passion. It's called a passion for life. And it must be put in everything you do - love. Passion makes you reckless, to take risks to win people, places, things. Passion is what ignites the motor. Love is what keeps it good working for a long time in unfamiliar lands. New things come to us because of our passion, but we keep knowledge of them and stay with them because of our love.

It is not possible without love there is passion. If there is no passion for life, what else would urge you to travel through thousands of events, people, miles to find what really will capture your heart? If it is not love, then what will make you stop, open your eyes and heart for what you encounter along the way? If you live without passion, you live in the desert. If you live without love, you traveling through the desert.

Maybe someone will challenge my assertion by saying that it is first passion, but over time it replaces love and everything calms down. But consider, if you are passionate about something or someone and that passion has led you to know Him, to love his imperfections, and sometimes they give you angry, and sometimes to think of love and all other good things, and these same imperfections touch your heart. Don't you think that's mean that is always a grain of passion in love. Because there is coffee without water, but you did not drink it that way, right?

There can be no love without passion or life without passion, because passion is the other name of the conquest of life and love is the way to sign a peace agreement with it.
