Sometimes it is good to think about what one actually does.
I like that everything already exists. It just needs to be seen, researched and understood. Colors are reflexions of light. Where there is light there are shadows. This allows us to see and to identify the world.
Sounds heavenly yet it is devilishly complex!
This is how my job is.
The latin term illustrare means “to enlighten, to explain, to praise”. Who makes something seen makes it comprehensible. Even the invisible.
A helpful profession I would say.
There are three other helpful professions. Psychiatrists, Philosophers and Astrophysicist. But I am cheaper. So far.
