When we create new things, from an original style of dress to a novel, we invest in these things on aesthetic quality that not only pleases us, but hopefully pleases those around us. Pleasing others may take time, but if we stick with our creative process and make adjustments along the way, we might find that our pleasure grows. Paying attention to the feedback we receive from others about the things we create and charging our creators accordingly (...) is a kind of generosity, as if we give to others some precious price of ourselves.
