Be Drunk....?

"Be Drunk" is a poem by Charles Bauldlaire, that we read in class, about having passion. What is passion? Could it be loving something so much you want to share it with everyone? Or could it be you love something so much that you want to keep it private and a secret? I think having passion could be both! Whether its something you want to yell to the world, or if it is something you only want to show yourself... HAVE PASSION! I think it is very important in life to have passion and be passionate about something, anything! I am passionate about my family. Family has and always will be to me! I recently got married and he is my everything. I will do just about everything for him. My passion has been put into perspective lately with my husband being sick and in the hospital. Having support from our family has made this process easier. This makes me passionate towards them and my husband. We have a very close knit family and they are always helping and in return I always want to help.
I think everyone should follow the counsel in the poem "Be Drunk". Everyone should love something enough that they WANT to have/give passion to it. His counsel can be deep but bottom line... Everyone should be passionate and find something they are passionate about!! I think people that say that they cant be passionate are scared of it. I say that because I think people who say that they dont have passion, are just scared to express it. Everyone has passion. Everyone does not express their passion.
Another aspect of this concept was that students are passionless...? What? Being in college I have experienced may people full of passion. Just today, I found a young freshman that was full of passion for dancing. She loved it and you could tell that she had passion just by the way she talked about it. And for someone to day that ALL students are passionless is wrong and I disagree. I just think people and student express them in different ways than the author did.
No matter if you do or do not express your passion, I think that everyone still has it somewhere deep down inside of them!!
