Ever since Gordon Gekko told the world that "greed was good" in the 1987 epic movie Wall Street I as well as many in my generation have been wooed by the sirens of success. I have noticed that many gay men without the familial support for this lifestyle and disenchanted with finding meaningful long term relationships have turned all their energies and attention to their careers. But a laptop cannot keep you warm at night nor console you when the stress and strains of one's daily routine becomes unbearable.
I often wonder as to the price of professional accomplishments over personal and whether it is too much to pay. Is it true that success is nothing without someone who cares about you to share it with? And what if it is and you are unable to find him? Then what do you do?
