Alexey Efimov. Unwillingness desires (№ 344152)

Why artists, even mediocre, always had such respect and admiration? It's certainly not because of talent... Just people, often seeing the same person over time, begin to consider their "friends." His family, his friends, maximum friends. And if you depicted their emotions are close to us, they become dearer relatives.
Talents we admire, before we admire talent, but talent is a kind of barrier separating the carrier from the rest of the world. A close friend can be forgiven its imperfections, including lack of talent.
