Passion is, in and of itself, neither good nor evil (as if those were absolute categories!), yet it may equally serve ends that are generally agreed-upon as either benevolent or malevolent. There are those who are passionate about gender and racial egalitarianism, and others who are equally passionate about sexist or racist beliefs. However, I do believe that, just as consciousness must necessarily be relational (consciousness is by necessity consciousness OF), that passion must also refer to some position or stand (passion is by necessity passionate ABOUT something); I do not think that referentless passion is any more possible than contentless consciousness.

Of course, there are also passionate people who pick up passion for one thing now and for another one tomorrow. There is also the medical description of passion in general.
And then, there are bores. (No offence taken.)
