Passion

"A lot of people fear passion,perhaps because when it appears,demolishes all the old things that it finds in its path..No one wants their life thrown into chaos..That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten..They are the engineers of the superseded..
Other people think exactly the opposite : they surrender themselves without any second thought,hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems.The make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness..They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has ruined everything..
Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of the two attitudes is the least destructive..I don't know!"

An excerpt from "Eleven Minutes-By Paulo Coelho"..
Abstract but quite projecting!

Active Galactic Nuclei

Read this one..I just love this.."Active Galactic Nuclei"..By G. Gamow and N. Calder
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
We know exactly what you are:
Nuclear furnace in the sky,
You'll burn to ashes, by and by.
But twinkle, twinkle, quasi-star,
Biggest puzzle from afar
How unlike the other ones,
Brighter than a trillion suns.
Twinkle, twinkle, quasi-star,
How we wonder what you are!"
