So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | Daydreams Thursday. 10.12.17 5:34 pm One of my friends lives on an island in the Caribbean, where his activities consist of running on volcanoes, surfing, and scuba diving in the sea. He works for Météo France studying hurricanes. This year has been a good year in that respect-- though everyone else in the Caribbean might not agree. He is thinking about moving to Tahiti, where his cousin helps out running a tour outfit. His cousin says that he could use my friend's amazing photography skills for the business. Him: But it would mean that I would have to end my ten-year relationship with research. Me: But research kind of sucks. Him: Yes it does! I don't want to kill myself writing papers just to get a job killing myself writing papers. Me: Wouldn't it be nice to sell people something that they actually wanted, instead of having to beg all the time? If you were showing people the beauty of Tahiti, the people would say, "THANK YOU!! This has been the best day of my life!" And you would say, "Every day if my life is like this." Him: Exactly!!! Me: Hmmm... maybe I should move to Tahiti... Him: Think about it. Tahiti is a direct 8-hour flight from LA. Me: I will go to work, and while I am slaving away writing grants that will never get funded, I will buy a ticket to your island and rethink my life plan. Him: Ok :) Now I am at work, and it's pretty hard not to reconsider my life plan. : / On the one hand, a life planning Moon missions and Mars colonization (and making good money), but filled with the stress of the rat race and the depressing prospect of living in a shanty house in LA forever; on the other hand moving to Tahiti... maybe becoming an adventure outfitter... or a geology guide... or a destination photographer... or maybe just a novelist. I could even be a freelance scientist, and only work on science when I had grant money. I would probably be pretty poor, depending on how my schemes panned out, but most of my activities on the island would be free! And if it didn't work out, I could probably come crawling back to NASA. #hmmmm 1 Comments. Or... make some good money for awhile, invest wisely, move to Tahiti and not be too poor? » randomjunk on 2017-10-16 05:54:20
