Passion and responsibility

I was being interviewed today for an article on Open Space Technology and something blurted out of my mouth that I thought was worth keeping, or at least investigating a little more.

We talk about Open Space being fueled by passion bounded by responsibility. I said in the interview that everything that has happened, everything that surrounds us, owes its existence to someone bringing together passion and responsibility.

And everything that we don’t have lies out of reach as long as there isn’t enough passion and responsibility working together to create it.

What do you think? Am I just talking smack here?
