The term fervor is one that is used to designate any feeling or sensation of a lot of passion, devotion and dedication that people can show in certain situations in life. Fervor is related in many senses with situations or circumstances related to religion, to what mystical since it is in those moments in which the human being in question believes in something that he cannot know in a concrete way and then appeals to his spirituality, to the sensations of him, to the feeling of him to give herself completely to him. Fervor can be seen as something positive in terms of dedication and commitment to something, but also as something negative when it involves an irrational or uncontrolled way of acting.
The human being, as a conscious being, has the possibility of managing his sensations, desires or interests largely through rationality. However, fervor is perhaps one of those sensations or feelings that arise from the depths of being and that often escapes explanation
rational or aware how it can happen with other things. Fervor is something that arises spontaneously, that is, the individual cannot seek to feel fervor for something if he does not do it unconsciously. Depending on each particular situation or circumstance, fervor can arise from one minute to another but also progressively. This last case is the most common since for a person to feel extreme devotion or surrender to a phenomenon (such as a religious phenomenon) they must internalize it as their own and feel it grow up in his being.As it was said, the feeling of fervor is something that is linked in most cases with religious issues since the religion or spirituality connects people with non-palpable, non-quantifiable realms. That is why the only way to truly understand and feel the presence of a god, of a worshiped figure or religious belief system is through fervor, feeling, ID with it on a spiritual level and much deeper than the rational.
