Read this excerpt from William Butler Yeats’ “The Second Coming” and answer the question.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

A “passionate intensity” is what causes the lack of conviction.
Yeats is cynical and believes passion is a wasteful emotion of youth.
