Shankar, it's good to be here again.
Well, he's found himself disengaged from what it felt like it means to be a human person.
You know, he didn't realize what the relationship was between his project and his personhood.
And when the project was done, it relocated him in this desirable but much more disruptive than he anticipated place called financial independence.
So he removed from his life that which almost every human being has had forever, which is the need to make a living.
And so that human project and my participation in the human project is what locates me in my life.
I mean, he loved the creativity and he loved working with his partner and he loved making a difference to his customers.
And he thought that was what the whole thing was about.
But all of that was located on the ground of the project of my personhood, which is making my life work and making the world work.
And he took himself partly out of that.
And he's not been able to refine himself.

I want to have an experience of meaning making, which I've attached to writing a novel.
And I want to make enough money to feel like I'm contributing at a level that satisfies my preferences or, frankly, my ego.
Those are not good or bad things.
They're just true.
What's really true about Sumiya's life, what's really true about their finances, and those constraints will define what the problem space really is.
