...The Story Live 2005 concert yesterday. i don't really know much of their songs. i went to experience the mood, for fun, and it was the very last time they are performing as Beyond*.
during one part of the concert, in memory of Ka Kui, they showed a short excerpt of some appearances he made, but mostly of the things he said before.
some of his words that strike a chord in me are:
"to me, music is not entertainment. it has to be appreciated. music is an art."
and also,
"i can't imagine one day without music. i really can't imagine the world without music. without music, i would die. i would really die."
words from a person who had passion. his passion was so strong it lives till today. so strong i feel wrong using the past tense. and it is shared with the rest of band members and fans.
his passion moves me. because i have none. and because i've never met a person passionate about anything before. i trudged through my life doing what is expected of me. or to pursue materialistic things to match the monetary status of others. i say what i want to do without true conviction burning from the bottom of my heart. those are "dreams" i chased with "short-lived passion".
if i really have passion, it won't be short-lived.

I share your sentiments. I too don't have the passion in me. At least, I've not found it in me. I just sat down and had a good talk with dad. He was so passionate about golf, he's been playing for more than 10 years. He came home telling me about how he played his best game ever today. Although I had rather limited understanding of the very difficult game involving clubs, the golf ball and the tiny hole on the green that they are trying to get that golf ball into, I could see the passion in him.
