00:00I really want more people have the courage to follow their passion.
00:06But as I say that, I also realize all of us have our own pet passions.
00:12The problem is they are neither our own nor are they our pets.
00:16You call something your pet only when you control it, right?
00:20A pet dog.
00:22Our passions are not controlled by us, instead they control us.
00:26How are they our pet passions?
00:27And they are not ours.
00:29It's like we have been hypnotized and something totally external,
00:34something totally unrelated to our own reality has entered us,
00:39captivated and possessed us.
00:41Passion should have been a beautiful word.
00:45Unfortunately, it is one of the most dangerous words
00:49you should be very cautious of.
00:51Do follow your passion, but with utmost care.
00:55Following something random in the name of passion is obviously not wise.
