It's an ego trip and an entirely selfish thing. Few people manage to be survived by their works. Having an affinity for something doesn't mean you're good at it. Sometimes people get lucky, and things work out for the better. If people only got what they deserved the world would be a terribly boring place.
Almost entirely agree but also sorta disagree - I'm just not sure which parts, lol! ;)
Hope you're doing good ~contrarian :D
