One aspect of getting older is how the things you really love seem to narrow and the intensity of interest and passion seems to amplify. Maybe it's how the finite pool of one's energy for such things gets more focused on particular things as you narrow the options. Or maybe you just learn not to spread your energy across too many things and too many people and really focus on what matters.
But man, some things just move you. But one only has so much time in the day and so many resources at one's disposal to help out here and there. Life is full of constraints and limitations and that sorta defines the human experience in its own way. We work with what we have and all that jazz - but we'll also always want to do more somehow. When things matter, then all the more you want to be able to do everything in your power to clear obstacles and make things better.
We can only do so much for the people we love and when things matter most. It's frustrating, but it's just the reality of things. And I've always prided myself in my ability to be realistic and pragmatic when it comes down to it.
But I can also be very passionate.
