From Zealand to New Zealand, or How far can opportunism lead?

While an optimist and a pessimist are arguing about a glass filled to the half, an opportunist takes the glass to drink from it.

Whether the approach looks witty, ironic, or impudent, opportunists fulfil their interests by taking advantage from the circumstances and are pretty satisfied with that. Depending on the field, we define economic opportunism, political, intellectual, spiritual and other types of opportunism, while the lifestyle is not warmly welcomed in any of these fields.

A witness of the Age of Revolution, there lived a man who made opportunism his life philosophy. Born in Denmark, Jorgen Jorgensen had a way more impulsive temper and a more inventive mind than majority of Danes (and perhaps, other people).

Where did he as an opportunist end up?
