If you trade passion for stability, you basically trade one fiction for another. Both are products of our imagination. It really comes down to the imagination. I mean it is with our mind that we Create stories. And those stories basically shape our experience. If you live with the story of things never change You live in one reality, and if you live with a narrative that says things ch always change, they continuously change, then you live with a very different set of beliefs about w how you love.
