Giving it all, or not

How can you believe in something so much, yet not give all you have for it?

That was a question I asked. Somebody gave me an answer, but it was not what I was looking for.
The answer illustrated how a vision always starts from a leader, and there will be a team to support it. The members of the team work together, some might play more pivotal roles, some might play smaller roles.
The answer was not wrong, but it just didn't satisfy me.

Then something enlightened me.

I have a friend who declared he was gonna give all he can to go after this girl, even AFTER the girl recently said she had no more feelings left for him.
Dumb right? As a friend, I totally disapprove his decision in hanging on to the possibility of being with her. He told me he'd still go for his one shot, and there was this sense of unjust he felt.
I couldn't understand why, why so foolish?

Then I realised, Passion.

Nobody can understand your passion more than you, yourself.
The person who gave me that answer just didn't share the same passion as me.

When you have so much passion for something, it just doesn't feel right sitting there and watching time pass by. It doesn't even feel right, until you know you have given your all for it.

People, even your closest ones, can advice you otherwise and deem you silly, but there will be a sense of unjust when you have not achieved what is rightful to you.

Hold on to your passion. Constantly dream it, refine it, expand it and practice it.
You'll be happier being called a fool for your passion, then to have your passion pass away, while leading an unfulfilled life.
