At first I thought it would be a corny joke of some sort but really this cartoon had a pretty deep and real meaning. Victoria Roberts depicts a piñata at a therapy session and it says, "What is the point of being filled with gifts if they can only be beaten out of you?" I found this really profound because it is so true. Once people realize you are good at something they will always want you to do that thing. Some people do not realize that being good or talented at something does not mean that you are good at it. For example if someone is exceptionally good at soccer as a child they will be expected to continue playing throughout high school and college so they can get scholarships and awards because they are good. But if the person hates what they are doing then being pressured to continue playing can be very unhealthy. Society pushes people to find something they are good at and to continue doing that. But it is really more important to find something you love whether or not you like it and to do that. You should be happy doing whatever you do.
