It's akin to saying that love is something that is measurable.
Hatchy, why so defensive mate? It's not an attack on
your passion, just an opinion.
You've chosen to have kids, get a mortgage, career, marriage and that's all beautiful.
No one thinks you're any less of a surfer because of that.
But I ask, what's more important to you:
Surfing/House
Surfing/Career
Surfing/Marriage
Surfing/Kids
Surfing/Garden
Surfing/Nice car
Surfing/Friends
Some would be highlighting surfing in 90% of the cases, some would only highlight 10%.
It doesn't make anyone a better person than anyone else which ever way they lean, but surely you can see what Steve's talking about.
The more you love something the more importance you'll give it in your priorities and life choices.
I'm not saying that it's a right or wrong way to live, it's just personal choice.
Just my opinion though mate.
