Proverbs 14

Proverbs 14:30
A tranquil heart is life to the body,
But passion is rottenness to the bones.
I feel like I've lived my life by this verse, without knowing it.  As I learned to control my ADD, I found that my emotions, my passion as it were, tended to be the cause of my troubles.  It was when I let my emotions guide me instead of my rational mind that I let my ADD out and caused trouble.

However, I guess I do wonder if "passion" is the word here that I would expect.  There are things that are worth being passionate about, as long as it doesn't take complete control.  Is there some subset of passion, or type of passion, that this is more accurately warning about?
