A man who won't die for something is not fit to live - MLK

I don't necessarily think that one is not fit to live, more that they aren't living. If you aren't passionate about at least one thing, be it a cause or a person or an ideal, you aren't truly living. You are merely existing. The difference between living and existing is passion. Some people go through life never finding their passion. They are lost souls, wandering this earth until they die. Those who find their passion live life to the fullest, experiencing each day as anew joy. Without this joy each day just is. Without passion the world would be a sadder place. There would be no reason to continue on. I like to think that even those who have not yet found their passion still strive to find it; that they are continuously looking for that one thing they would die for. Once you have found your thing, you are lucky. You have what millions of people strive for. You are the impassioned elite.
