There is definitely a psychological impact on the worshipper of the deification of any race or racial imagery. That, coupled with the problem or representing someone as near-Scandinavian in a region where the people range from Southern Italian to Ethiopian, is problematic.
When I studied art history I noticed that in Islam they put emphasis on words and banned pictures for that very reason, they used words as art and found beauty in them.

I wasn't aware of this guy, now I'm instantly interested in all of his work upon finding out that he is an entertainer and writer.
An enlightened man. Accepting the things you can and cannot change and carving out a life for yourself is the best path. The focus you will have will provide you with success and new experiences. Live your life instead of living it for imaginary beings, archaic pairings like marriage, or for children that you don’t currently have and may never have. It’s all just a circle jerk at beating the odds. As a scientist, you know that trying to have children is just trying to keep yourself in the gene pool and the illusion of immortality.
As more time goes on especially after this corona stuff the more I think I'm going to skip the kids stage. I think it's better If I do.
At this point I think all I need is a comfortable retirement in where I can enjoy nature, a hobby shop, peace of mind and eventually a peaceful death. With or without an SO.
The human race is going to eventually end anyway. I'm not compelled to help kick the can down the road thereby putting off the inevitable. Enjoying my time while I'm here is enough for me.
I appreciate that brother. The more I let go the more I gain in mental growth and overall well being. Also the more I grow mentally the more I enjoy life and appreciate the knowledge and good health that I have.
