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!
