Well if you're thinking in such levels, you're tossing quite big branches in front of your feet yourself. I'll never sell out theatre and am still a singer. I'll never sell my paintings for big money, yet they hang in our apartment. We're talking hobby and happiness, not medals.

I think it's great to do such things for personal satisfaction -- I do that sort of thing myself. But I think it's dangerously wrong to imply, as Ross did, that all people are somehow "equal." They're not.
I don't see that there and won't defend such a counterpoint. I've however seen many genial little musicians to be outrun by people who practiced. Nearly all of them, really. Age 14, poof and fuck you if you're not working hard for the rest of your life. Picking up hobby that's countering your capabilities also seems naive and silly, not an achievement.🤔 We don't owe anybody anything and don't need to prove ourselves in such stressing way.
I am delighted to see that you acknowledge that differing people have differing capabilities.
