Anyway, let's say it is the easiest for the sake of argument, that's no reason not to do it or to feel going about doing it. Maybe it's the first step on a bigger journey.
As for me, my philosophy on work is the same as it is with relationships. Sometimes you have to acquiesce to reality. I'm not going to find any new passion at this point in my life. In no small part because I'm not a passionate person. I'm just not. I'm about as apathetic as you can be and while still having a heart beat. Beyond that, I made (or didn't make) decisions in my 20s that set the course for the rest of my life. That's just the way it is; I don't get to climb into a wayback machine for a do-over. But what I can do is make the best life out of what I have. And that's exactly what I'm doing.

I think that's a silly excuse to just not try, keg. I'm sorry that that's harsh, but it seems like that is such a cop out. There's no reason why your reality can't change...and the passion thing, I am sure it's because you either have not recognized what it is yet or haven't encountered it yet. I refuse to believe that you have to "make the best life out of what you have"....a true optimist would tell you that there's way more there you haven't discovered or you'd be clawing your way out of the mundane to get another glimpse of it. Don't let life make you succumb to mediocrity.
