mad men

The world is ruled by mad men.

Men that cannot be completely defined by logic and reason. They simply have to be accepted as they are, doing what they do deriving from an endless source of motivation. They are fearless, motivated and a friggin' unstoppable force. And it's this kind of things that inspires people to follow. These kind of people that makes miracles happen. These kind of mad men that leads the world.

I truly envy the people that love what they do, and get (well) paid doing it. Wouldn't doing what you love turn into an endless pursuit leading to nothing, and leaves one weary and tired of pursuing, slowly degrading that born passion? Might not that person find a big roadblock or found a dead-end in their life's work and fail to find anything else to cling on to? There's so many downfalls awaiting these people. They placed their entire lives on what they do, they cannot fail because it would just mean failure of their entire lives.

Unfortunately, I wasn't born to be this mad. Or born to have a raging fire/passion in my heart. Yet, I am fortunate enough to meet a few in my lives that really do have a passion for something in their lives, be it serving Jesus Christ, photography or even idolizing another person/celebrity. Their energy spreads, their passion inspires. I'm amazed by how I find myself being affected by them. Seeing them putting hours and hours without the slightest remorse, or the typical look back and say "gah, i'm sick and tired of doing this for so long. i want to do something new."

My definition of mad is irrational people that defy the laws of common sense and rationality - and these people inspire me.

I hope one day, I would be mad too =)
