Local Talents

Listen! You have no right to castigate your local talents or undermine the confidence of anyone who thinks he’s got talent. You have to overstand that supporting oneself is not an easy thing, especially for someone coming from humble origins. So if you cannot be of any support, just appreciate their significance in society and don’t joke with their resolve, it can be all what they need to carry on.

In fact, the best thing to do is to ask yourself if you've even ever attempted to buy their work - Have you ever attended their performances, and not as one that’ll capitalise on his closeness with the artist to enter for free, but to pay just like every decent patron? Did it ever occur to you that they need your moral push, your love, respect and acknowledgment where necessary? If your answers aren't affirmative then let them be.

By the same token, while it is undoubtedly honourable to support local talents, no artist has the right to unreasonably intimidate anyone into supporting something just because it is “theirs”, and especially not if what you call your talent is not unlike an audition for Idiot’s Got Talent. Overstand that art is a thing of the soul, and the soul cannot love or like anything against the will of the will. PEACE!
