Passion is a state of being. It is a temporary phase of complete ecstasy and euphoria. Of course, we all wish it would last forever, but the fact is that it doesn’t. If this did last forever, we would not be able to accomplish anything, or get anything done. We would all be too distracted, and caught up in the other person, and while it does feel good, it’s not always a good thing.
On the other hand, love is more a state of living, because although those passionate weekends and rendezvous can seem like love, true love lasts forever. No matter how much you argue and yell at each other, deep down you know that you truly love that person, and they love you. You know that you and your partner can make it, and you will work it out.
