Shocking! There is no place in life for guilt, especially when it comes to doing the things that bring you joy. Joyful people contribute infinite amounts of good to the world. Don’t ever forget it, and get out there and follow your bliss!
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
