He knows he should leave and go for his dream, but he just can’t, or won’t quit. If he leaves his good paying posi- tion, he fears his parents and friends will think he’s a stu- pid failure — and he knows he could fail. So; Charlie waits and stews as the seasons pass. One night Charlie has a vision where he meets Eu- daimonia, the Queen of his soul.
