- jere 14y agoI think the implication is that those are incompatible.
- dbg31415 14y agoWell... there are a lot of Jews out there who tend to disagree. Ha.
- laurentoget 14y agoUnless you include every jewish male character in a woody allen movie or a philip roth novel, which can be read as a case study on highly depressed high achievers.
- sliverstorm 14y agoHardly. Not a new phenomenon in the least. Off the top of my head, we can look to 1897: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cory It is of course a poem, not a historical figure, but it was written all the same.
- sliverstorm 14y agoMuch trickier subject. Unsuccessful and depressive go together quite easily. Successful and depressive is a stranger beast, probably requiring more than a rudimentary understanding of psychology to wrangle.
