“Our passion not to be burned is not the same as the reason for our desire not to be burned. The reason why being burned causes pain is not because it is painful. Here passion is the motive force to take action flowing from the underlying reasons, whether we know them or not (or know evolutionary theory, physics, biology, chemistry and genetics or not). In this case, passion is the slave to conscious or embedded (coded) reason.”
