Talent could be defined as the
ability to master some skill in a shorter amount of time or energy. Consider 2 people who take up playing guitar.
Each spends the same amount of time on the same exercises. After 1 year each is
evaluated and one player is judged as better.
Musical ability. Some have it, some
do not. Anyone can practice, anyone can run scales, anyone can train their ear
but not everyone can move you to tears with music. Not everyone can make others
want to make music. Not everyone can inspire. Isn’t this the worst of all
possible worlds? With all due respect to Leibnitz, because, let’s think about
it, those two people might WANT it the same amount, to the same degree. BUT,
they both won’t get there. The worst of all possible worlds.
