passion as a media

Passion:

in life, one can do many things that he likes every day. some people on the other hand, just go through life as a routine, they do the same thing every day. some people do what they love such as play sports, work out, be a doctor, etc. but others sometimes dont have a choice and just work to make a living.these things, are sometimes determined in life for certain people, and might not have a way of changing it. in order to make a living some people work hard, others steal, others kill, or others just do what it is necessary. and as i said, these things can not be modified in life according to many circumstance that people go through. however, there is one thing that people have in life where they leave everything theyve got, they put there heart into this activity or thing, they would kill for an opportunity of enjoying whatever this is. and that thing is called passion.

passion is something you would die for, what you love to do no matter the circumstances. alcoholics love to drink, because it is their passion. drug adicts love to take drugs because it is their passion, doctors love to cure people because it is their passion. no matter where someone is, the amount of money one has or how much one is suffering at a certain point, one will do anything to follow what they have a passion for.

me for example have a great passion for soccer, theres is nothing in this world i rather do than go to a huge soccer match or play soccer with my friends. i would trade anything for soccer. because when i am playing or watching this sport, my head goes blank. i think of nothing else but my passion. i enjoy every minute of it, and this is the same for anyone who follows or does their passion. the reason for why i see this as a media, is because it is a way of interacting with those who have your same passion. people like me would die to meet a professional soccer player, through TV, advertisements, internet, etc. we begin to idotralize those who play soccer the best. we follow them and have a passion to intend to copy what they do. their moves, their style, everything. when i go to the stadium, i yell chant and sing for my team connecting with the thousands of fans around me. if we think about, everyone interacts and relates to those who share their passions. and thats why i see passion as a great medium that is a huge part of my every day life. i live for my passion and theres not that makes me feel better than to be with people that share that passion with me.

  1. salo,
    I agree with you and specially how soccer and passion can relate to media. Another example that is not a youtube video is how the people cheering at soccer stadiums create songs/chants but also they do everything for their team. I know some stories of people that have killed or gone to jail because of their adversaries enemy's provoking them with songs, banners, and mediums.
