romantics. As they are detached from the world, they can end up being
dangerous, for themselves and for others. But they can also
be very creative, although they will likely crash against the
stupidity or indifference of others. Sometimes the visionary tends to
end up doing very routine work because their kingdom is not of this
world. The university environment is often suitable for these subjects.
They can stand out in the world of advertising. They can stand out for their
genius, but they can be catastrophic like Hitler.
In love, visionaries tend to be romantic. They may lean towards the
platonic love.

and honest. They can become obsessed with some lofty ideal and not see that their
marriage is falling apart. And then they do not understand what has happened.
Normally es one couple for everybody
the life.
Subclasses of people of principles:
a) Lonely cross: one whose cube is literally over a
pedestal. Noble; uncompromising; isolated; bitter.
