Find curiosity.

Whoa. Not so fast buddy :)
I'd argue (read: at the bar banter) that passion - done properly - is a form of curiosity. Being driven to find what's ahead. The energy and focus to push up and over the hill to see what's on the other side. Etc. Passion is also a relative of love. Life without love? I think not.
That said, passion for passion's sake? Agreed. A false god. At that point, go with purpose. What is your purpose? Passion is like happiness, it's fleeting and erratic. Purpose is more North Star-esque.
I do agree, curiosity is the superior force. It's more beneficial. But that doesn't make passion unnecessary or obsolobsolete.
