The concept of expertise in creative fields like fine art, music, literature, etc is interesting.

On the one hand, it is impressive to see what humans can achieve with untold hours of training and hard work.

On the other hand, creativity is a natural human tendency that gets unnecessarily suppressed when we are taught/told what art, books, or music is good or bad. In this sense, our creativity gets poisoned and sold back to us.

The fact is that there is a massive benefit to the human psyche that comes from doing creative things. In other words, don’t miss out on one of life’s few legitimate pleasures just because you aren’t the next Van Gogh or Mozart.

Be creative in order to use your brain and see what it can come with just because it’s fun and rewarding.

Note, like all my posts, this is mainly a reminder to myself, but I write it here in the hopes that someone else has an interesting take on the issue.
