WHAT ABOUT IF ONE BECOMES THE OTHER ?
DISTINCTIONS OF UNDERSTANDING AND MEANING
LOVE AND PASSION ARE 2 EXTREMELY powerful emotions. Although these 2 emotions overlap in some cases, there is generally a clear cut difference between love and passion. PASSION refers to the sexual and romantic feelings. LOVE is a strong affection we feel for someone close to us. When we talk about the love between a couple, PASSION is part of the LOVE. However, if we are talking about the LOVE between a mother and a child, PASSION has no role in that relationship. Therefore, the main difference between LOVE AND PASSION is that: LOVE is deep affection, whereas PASSION is the romantic or sexual LOVE.
