“Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it – which of these two attitudes is the least destructive? I don’t know.”
— Paulo Coelho

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes in life, people either try to hide their strong feelings or completely give in to them without thinking. Both approaches can have their problems. For example, if someone loves painting but keeps it hidden, they might feel unhappy because they’re not doing what they love. On the other hand, if they drop everything just to paint all the time without considering their responsibilities, they might face other issues like losing their job. The quote is wondering which of these choices is worse but suggests it’s hard to decide. It’s important to find a balance so passion can enrich life without causing problems.
