It's one of everybody's choices..Being an amateur..Is it because they like it? Of course not , but it's safer,easier,touchable,available,logic and smarter. It bears no risk.It's free of the professionalism stress.It's far away from the fear of loosing the prestige.Being an amateur and accepting to be one of them , offers you a transparent shelter.A shelter where you can hide all of your handicaps , complexes , self mistrust.It's very cozy and practic and you can carry it everywhere. It's trendy too..Nowadays everybody has become an amateur at some thing. I do believe there are two different kinds of amateurs: 1.The ones that are conscient of that and don't use it as a tip of security. 2.The ones that disguise their selves under the safe frame of being an amateur...
Launching one self as an amateur at something , is a pure disguising strategy .We can call it : The art of transparent masking and editing of our deficiencies. Ok , ok this may sound too harsh , but if we ponder on it for a while we could get the point of the above statement. I'm an amateur too.I'm an amateur at arts , that is : photography, cinema,dance,creative writing. But I have to admit sometimes I feel bad of using this etiquette for myself ..It's not that I want to be called a professional , I hate it because I think of what I said above .Because I think that I'm choosing the easiest way for not accepting I'm a beginner. One should accept this if he/she wants to progress I think! It can be dissapoiting at times , but would be the best muse for you to improve yourself and advance! It's hard but it pays!!!
