If you're given to select a way to run your life by, what will it be?
Passion? or Reason?
These two elements rule our lives so prominently that we've almost grown blind to their existence. Worse yet, we might not be blind but merely chose to ignore them, making up excuses for choices we make in life. These two elements are inseparable to our lives as oxygen is to our lungs.
For one to reason, one has to be truly objective. That is, to be on the fence and impartial at all times. It can be said to be a confining and restraining force, as you need to abandon strong feelings when dealing with arising matters. Reasons often don't go well with emotions, they conflict each other. Yet, it is a irrevocable reality that we humans are brimming with emotions and are weak to these influences.
Passion, something like a flame. It's a powerful driving force that instigates us to take action. It can be both destructive and helpful, at the same time. Too much, you burn to a cinder; too little, the flames feed the wind. It throws away logic and rationality in favor of strong feelings. We do base solely of what we experience currently - love, hate, envy, despair. Actions taken through passion, cannot be judge for rights and wrongs.
They may sound like complete opposites of each other, yet they go well and complement each other like a jigsaw. Sometimes, they may fight like cats and dogs. But when they do play nice, they go well together, like peanut butter and jam.
You reason that without a doubt you are correct. But, how can you so sure of yourself if passions does not drives you? Lingering doubts vanishes without an inkling of trace it was there at all when overruled by fiery passion. Reason can never really be truly devoid of passionate feelings when given by humans.
The other way around, passion can only go so far on its own. Logical reasoning will eventually dissolves any emotion tying itself to the irrational passion. Nothing or no one is truly above these ruling, only because we are flawed in such a way that we can't measure one without the other.
Love is never blind. Often, in these matters, reason and passion goes into all out nuclear warfare. People trying to find love will let strong passion to overrule weak reasoning, justifying everything fault to be curable. Eventually, the at first strong and heated feelings will be weakened by the cold hard logic, albeit a little twisted. By us to suit our own means. This spells disaster for any relationship because doubts will be popping up with increasing frequency. That will turn things sour pretty quickly.
However, true love. That is love so real and intense, it does not leave any doubt at all. Reason and passion go hand in hand to create a feeling so intense that makes rabbits run away from you. Like a hot burning white dwarf, amidst a thousandths of millions of stars in the universe. To love without any regret and doubt is indeed rare since we rarely conjoin reason with passion anymore nowadays.
Even with all that said, I still find my own predictability to be mildly funny and entertaining. I just couldn't stay my hand now, can I? You know what, just ignore this. (no really, I wrote so much to NOT have anyone read it)
