I guess I occasionally have too much passion or at least allow it to take over. I notice that it is when I allow my passion on a topic to overpower my mental order that the result is often typos. One of the mentors to my early growth in ministry, John Maxwell, proclaimed that the pastor must have passion to be effective. I agree, however there seems to be a practical limit when it comes to expressing it to others. Having written many books and papers, my proofreading of a nearly finished work often reveals this cause for typos and other errors.
It would seem to hold that we suffer from this same malady when we are passionate about a verbal discussion or touchy written subject. I believe passion not only is required for our politicians to be attractive politically, but it also fuels error and over-aggressiveness. Passion might be better used if we followed the Proverb which warns us to think before speaking.
This particular blog is probably of little consequence, but it seemed to be necessary to pen it.
