But in another sense energy is spoken of as
passion. For energy is a movement in harmony with nature, whereas
passion is a movement at variance with nature. According, then,
to this view, energy may be spoken of as passion when it does not act
in accord with nature, whether its movement is due to itself or to some
other thing. Thus, in connection with the heart, its natural
pulsation is energy, whereas its palpitation, which is an excessive and
unnatural movement, is passion and not energy.
