This isn't quite fair. This describes people who are passionate about their family, their wives, their children. Maybe passionate about home repair. Maybe about their local community. Or even spots. And that doesn't even cover the fact that most ordinary suburban folk have hobbies about which they are passionate.
The article overall just seems to be placing labels on people, but leaving me with a question to the author of, "So What?"
I think something's wrong with us "passionates." Why aren't we seeing any value in these everyday "content" people?
You know what? I'm happier now. I have more burdens, I'm in worse health, I have little personal time.
Yet somehow... still happier. Go figure.
And if you think about it that way, isn't that basically the same thing as saying we're all a little bit different in personality? Replace passion with commitment, honesty, intelligence, curiosity and you could make the same argument for each.
Those who understand all these points are the fourth category people.
Anyone know who said this? Google only gives a few results... that's what his thesis reminds me of.
