It can be intense from the beginning. <BR/><BR/>One also has to take the practical aspect of how it pays. I am fond of poetry but it's commercial profile is not so impressive and therefore I cannot do what I love. <BR/><BR/>Artistic professions entail a very high risk in case of failure. That is why like your doctor example, some people are destined to live " a double life" which is the title of Alyque Padmasee's book.

We cannot love until we do it. It is therefore a trap."<BR/><BR/>I hope most of us do this as we dont/know/get more info about the object or action, left alone to battle without any support systemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
