devil's dictionary

passion: the justification for one's self-absorption and thoughtlessness; as in, "I have a passion for marketing software solutions in the ERP space". Not to be confused with physical ardor, or the suffering of the son of God. Those without passion are said to be unmotivated. Strangely, this modern form of passion is unambigously wonderful; who needs tumultuous love, let alone the demands of the son of God, when one has a passion for, say, marketing or entrepreneurship, amidst a booming economy?
