I thought this [1] was an insightful (and counter-intuitive) take on this topic. Basically: contra @DarthCoin, passion isn't the mirror of your soul. Passion is something you create based on action you take. Thinking that you need to discover the source of pre-existing truth leads to a lot of misery.

yes but that action comes from your inside. If that flame is not inside you, there's no action, just NPC life.
