Gifted People Only
I can appreciate real God given talents. An acquired skill is something you can recognize from afar but a gift that somebody is born with it's undeniable. I've heard people sing I've seen art come to life from a plain canvas. I've read stories that made me feel like I was there. I've watched people perform and some actually belong in the spotlight so that there gifts can be shared with the world. Sadly what I'm witnessing is the complete opposite. It seems like the world lives and thrives off the unauthenticated talent overnight born babies. While those with the true gifts and passion for there crafts aren't given the time of day. People see your talent and want to exploit you. My husband has the gift I'm talking about he does computer animation and graphic design and he does it with a passion and constantly upgrading his skills to stay on top of his game. But for some reason when people know what he can do they are blown away but in the same breath want to make up payment plans and barter deals. Talk about being robbed. How can you see great work and expect so little to be charged. It's a painful thing to watch and this isn't all the time but when it does happen it blows my mind. The work he puts out is really great and the lack of acknowlendgment by the world sometimes gets me reved up. So to all you poets/writers/singers/real gift people stay encouraged and know that sometimes your gift may go unnoticed by the world but you know what burns inside of you....It's called a God giving talent

I know people who are like this - always trying to get over, even when it arrives at true art and/or talent. I hate to say it but, usually, it's our own people who are guilty of this. I don't know why it's like this. I just know it is, unfortunately.
