The expression of my passion for literature used to be fervent, but also egomaniacal. A more subdued, less intense, but far more intensive, passion has taken its place. I appreciate both, and the former may return intermittently, but I consider myself lucky that I had an epiphany which allowed me to transition to my present phase. Even if only esoterically, I realized I needed to cultivate a concern for others at the heart of what I do. A similar phenomenon played out in my romantic relationships to a significant extent, and in my interpersonal relationships to a lesser extent.
