Where does passion come from?

According to some, passion is the emotion one experiences or conveys in an activity (bugs, weather, music, writing or reading books, motorcycles, sex...)
You have to be adequate enough of a _____ (bug-ologist, meteorologist, musician...etc) to achieve the level of distinction called passion, but you dare not exceed it. If you do not have the right amount of skill or emotion, then you are forcing passion.
But some find learning passion to be addictive.
One must be careful in experimenting with this fixation. It has been known to take you further than you may have intended.

Thus, one who has crossed the point of no return would have to recreate passion.

But where does it come from? Who is to say that one's passion is the act of learning?

Why is education the destruction of passion?

If you're going to love something, you should know why. One does not normally devote every power to something that doesn't deserve full attention.
If you're going to hate something, should you not know why too? Love and hate are just emotions, right? To me, they are equal.

There is no good without evil, love without hate, etc....

There are two people in this world. There are those who numb the pain temporarily, and there are those who will educate themselves into not making the same mistake(s) twice.

You could cure/numb the headache momentarily, or figure out what caused it to prevent the pain from happening again.
