William Blake said something like this, "It is good when you are in a passion but not when a passion is in you!." Nothing of consequence would get done if it wasn't for our passions; that said, discipline, direction, and reason are absolutely essential in order to benefit from our "burning passions!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

for most of my life i have follow the reasoning , but of course in a time of your life at least once you follow passion!. i would say i have no problem balancing both, but most of the time or perhaps all the time i use reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

After years of study and work, I have the two perfectly intergrated!. They are never in conflict!. You could argue, then, that I always follow both!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would like to say reason, but!.!.!.I think it is both!. I can justify any passion I have with reason and logic!.!.!.but at root, it's really emotions that cause me to do anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I follow both! It is in the ensuing tension, wracked as if by a typhoon and an earthquake all at once, that life is best seen as it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

passion and emotions happen with no effort!. Reasoning requires practice and is like an art form!. One devolves us into animals the other evolves us into gods!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually reason, but if you mean by passion, emotions and feeling rather than raw energy, then

"the heart has its reasons which reason knows not of"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I tend to use my passion to boost the power of my reasoning!. So in my case, they are intertwined with each other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Largely reason, although sometimes my reason tells me to follow my passion because in that direction may lie happiness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
