As a kid, I used to deeply hate arts, singing and photography.

Now, that I do Karaoke, cosplay and photography as an adult, I realized, that all of these things I hated... I hated them only because I was forced to participate in their lowest form.

Imagine 30 kids each trying to out.false each others song, so that one of them can be the special one in that song. The one to be heard.

Or parents framing family in the center just to have a frame where nothing stands out. Just pose where everyone can be recognized.

And an art teacher ignoring any vision, just thinking that kids will find themselves in an unorganized time with pencils. Maybe ocasionally forcing them to use a method they don't like to get a result they never cared about.

Can I blame these people for not starting these hobbies earlier? I have honestly no idea. But the lack of perfection as a goal was present in all of these cases. And I will have to think about what that means myself.
