Letting the world write your story while you proofread in silence.
means The state of accepting or allowing things to happen to you rather than acting to influence or control them.
from From Latin 'passivus' (capable of suffering or being acted upon), rooted in 'pati' (to suffer, endure, undergo) — the same root that gives us 'patient' and 'passion.' So linguistically, passivity shares blood with passion: both start from the idea of being acted upon rather than acting, long before 'passion' drifted toward fiery intensity.
