But when you put it that way it he seems a little selfish--in the same way that mountain-climbers or other dangerous sportsmen show a disregard for their families, when they leave their children orphaned.
Or soldiers, or miners, or fishermen, or police, or firefighters... lots of dangerous jobs, neh? He had a calling, as peculiar as it was, and he knew it could get him killed, and everyone knew it could get him killed... but he kept on. While taking pointless risks while you have a family is selfish (heroin, say), it's his job, and there's no reason his life should shut down because he has a family (especially considering that that was how he provided for them, neh?).
Pour out a Foster's for the crazy motherfucker.
