zealous
I am going to suggest this good word again. The fact that it is desirable to be zealous but not a zealot makes the origin of this word even more fascinating.

Re: zealous
Yet in this day of hyper-partisanship, zealots abound!
Yeah, sad

Re: zealous
In the first century there was a group of rebels against Rome called Zealots. We probably would call them terrorists today. Jesus called one as a disciple: Simon the Zealot, not to be confused with Simon aka Peter.
