One is in the arts and has a position as a curator at a museum but, much as I like her, she does not seem so content. Perhaps if you take away the need to survive but you're unhappy in spite of achieving the objectives you set for yourself .. the only thing left is despondency and therapy?

This is hard for me to say one way or the other, as I don't know the woman, but she could still be acting in bad faith.
