Passions?

Passions?

....we may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the World has been accomplished without passion.
--23

The History of the World is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony - periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.
--26-7

Hegel corrects the meaning of the word passion on p. 23-4 to mean not individual self-interest but rather a "particular bent of character" interested in helping the community at large (24). Does this mean that his criticism of passion and subsequent lament (20-21) does not apply? What implications does all this (the second quote, and Matt's TP) have for happiness and the individual? What do passions have to do with the actualization of the soul or of the general will (cf. 38)?
