I'm not following you.

Also... was Kafka ill or existentialist? Sure, today he'd be dragged to shrink by one of his lovers and may end up talking his childhood and inner child on the couch and be heavily medicated (one pill for obsessing with the ones living in Castle, one for fear of turning into giant cockroach, some APs for paranoia he found hard to Process, another one for being uhappy and loss in America). How about those who were not really happy, but created something greater then themselves?

I'm not actually sure how any of those things made him dysfunctional in a true sense; there were clear indications of success and function- though atypical.
As well, I used an incorrect term.
I should have used the term content.
Happy is a different concept.
I find it hard to believe that a person can survive being completely miserable every single day of their life with no intervention. That such a person may be accomplished in any way indicates some form of contentedness.
We could go on with philosophy but I kind of feel like whatever I say won't be adequate in terms of function versus dysfunction so I'll withdraw as clearly I'm part of the problem.
