A dear friend of mine from Greece decided to study archeology and did a Phd in LITERALLY Byzantine iconography of penises. Now at 37 he works as workman in a factory producing food. He seemed happy before and he seems happy now. There are many ways to read into this real life events. I'm still struggling to understand it. A part of me sees it as a cautionary tale of pursuing outdated fields. Another parts of me wonders if maybe my friend is happy and everything else doesn't matter. Another part of me wonders if too much unconditional happiness might lead you in dead end alleys. Another part of me wonders if that is false and believing that is preventing me to be happier. Life is chaos.
