If

If your passion starts to die, it won't be because of your spiritual work,

your friends, your lover, or because of life's down times.

Your passion will die because you have bought

-- hook, line, and sinker -- an attitude that was sold to you by your parents,

your school teachers, and this society.

You've bought the attitude

that you've got to look like that Playgirl man (if you're a man)

or that Playboy woman (if you're a woman).

You think you've got to be cool and cultured,

that you've got to dress right

and smell like the corporate world wants you to smell.

If your passion dies it will be

because you've bought that appearances are everything,

including the appearance of your worldview, politics, opinions, and beliefs.
