Reason and Passion

Passion with reason, the balance to steer in every affair lest we be driven like a reed in the storm;
a mental puppet to the opinions of others.
Too much passion leads to error; over zealousness, ambitions -- extremism
Too much of Reason leads to stillness, inaction, over judging, caution.
The fool dies of both: passion and reason at their extreme.
As such, all wisemen are fools because they die of too much of the brain (reason).
And all that is foolishness die out of their passion (too much of love).
This turns the wise into fools at some point and sometimes gives them a firm standpoint and reputation as being wise and fools into wisemen at some point because of their passion and reason and makes a caricature of them instantaneously at some other point in time.
Too much passion yields extreme naivity,
Too much reason yields too much brain work, over judgement and inaction.
Balance between reason and passion yields a human.
Passion without reason is a vehicle without breaks; all is destruction.
And too much reason without passion is a vehicle with no steering, drive and will wear and tear sitting still.
Balance between the rhythm of passion and reason which drives and breaks when necessary is what makes one human without which is peril.
