There are basically two types of people in the world. I figured this out a week ago.
My favourite type of people are: artistic types who don't need regular hours, who work until they drop because they get inspired, who are capable of viewing the beauty in the world including the beauty in people, who are passionate, who are civilised, who have a good long term view of history and aren't bogged down by their own era, who are interested in philosophy, who know and understand the classic myths, who write poetry, who value fine architecture, who enjoy trips to Greece and Florence...
I could go on but I won't.
I am that sort of a person.
All my favourite people from history are that sort of person. At least all the ones of substance are, the ones who I actually respect.
I don't fit in around here because there aren't many people like that around here and not many of us exist anywhere. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't be that sort of a person
