Amit Dutta

All your hopes and dreams are a fantasy

Isn't it the same as doing something else first so I can focus on art later

09 Jun 22:30

Jun

But isn't that pulling me away from my dream? Working for money

09 Jun 22:30

Amit Dutta

Maslow? Seen his chart and that guy is a moron! I'd put Oxygen on top of the pyramid!

Totally however you can

09 Jun 22:29

How would I pay my bills for even the basic needs?

09 Jun 22:29

Amit Dutta

--

but things do develop on top of other things/actions so in a way yes

09 Jun 22:29

Amit Dutta

--

Not that either

09 Jun 22:28

Jun

--

It's like making a base for your dreams to use and shine in a few years.

09 Jun 22:28

Amit Dutta

--

if you are considering Maslow's hierarchy of needs

09 Jun 22:28

Amit Dutta

--

but you can look at it that way

09 Jun 22:28

Amit Dutta

--

Not really

09 Jun 22:27

John

This isn't about quitting art. More of a 'provide first dream later' sort of mantra.

09 Jun 22:27

Amit Dutta

The ideal, is that they come together at some point

09 Jun 22:26

Amit Dutta

--

You want to put your entire families needs above your own, that's a choice (Not saying doing it or not doing it is bad or good)

09 Jun 22:26

John

--

Ah. I see where you're coming from..

09 Jun 22:25

Amit Dutta

--

You do what you need to get money to survive. After that, it's all a choice on what you put attention on
