(man humor)(life lesson)

Note from a friend, roughly translated:

—“My work is awful. I’m frustrated. I compensate with reading philosophy and ___ my girlfriend six ways from Sunday.”—

Of course, with my rather autistic logic, I think that if your work inspires you to both those ends, then it’s perfect.

I mean, if the counter is that if you work is wonderful, and you don’t read philosophy or ____ your girlfriend like a rabbit, then think of how much worse off you are with enjoyable work.

lol. Yes. I have my priorities straight.

Seriously. I remember standing in the shower after getting the news that I had cancer, and thinking, “Of all the time I spend, the time I spend making love to my wife is the time I wish I had more of, and it is the time I take most for granted”.

It was after cancer that I started working on philosophy half time, and after the second bout that I sold out of my business, sold my cars and houses, and moved to ‘the old world’ to work on philosophy while building software I cared about.

The wife was a cost of transition unfortunately.

But make sure you have your priorities straight.
