The sensitivity in the artist is the price of seeing the world and playing it back.
Assimilating and re-offering it rather than excluding it.
Normally, this sort of exposure would make your skin leathery and tough.
But the artist surrenders their innate resistance.
Oft unwisely.
They may try to remember that being strong and being hard are different things.
It's not work-life balance. That's far too simplistic.
It's wading in the world without getting sucked in, up or under.
Many fade, give up or resist. They build barricades.
We all do in the end.
Your charitable thoughts may persist but you may outsource them to a registered organisation...someone to do the caring for you. Someone who will invite you to a ball.
I am not going to beat anyone up about it as long as they start to be honest with themselves.
Resistance isn't futile.
It's sound survival strategy.
