When I first started to talk about my writing a journal to my friends, most of them wrinkled their noses. Too much of a chore, they d said. It could be that most people hate school. Most people hate work.
Most people lack initiative or creative passion.
Could be laziness or perhaps the fact that writing and schooling is unnatural. I think it is unnatural. Our instincts rebel at being grouped in rows and being asked to sit still for an hour or so. People are resistant to paying attention. Most of the people that work at the ground level in this country want to go out and play.
