: This is not my opinion, this is the opinion of the woman who has been : teaching me the art of Mehndi, I am just passing this along...Like : Catherine did. : I call my teacher Granmama..(she prefers it) she has asked me why do : we call ourselves "professionals", when we are not....we did not learn : this ancient art from our ancestors, it was not handed down to us : through our families, why do we insist that we know more than they do : about this art. : I have told her that a "professional" is someone practicing a : profession, someone who does something for a living, rather than a : hobby. (Yes I looked it up in the dictionary, to tell her),,,this has : not satisfied her question as to why do we think we know more about : this than them.. : Granmama says it does not matter how many years of learning, reading : about, research on the subject, or even how many years we have been : doing this, we are not "professionals". : Can anyone help me here? Explain to Granmama why we feel we are : professionals. : : She has read this page a number of times, when she is here, and she : is so dissappointed in what us "professionals" say and do here...I : have to agree with her, we have put each other down,called each other : names, and slandered some, someone makes a response to someones : question or comment and someone(self encluded), has a 'better' : way...and then there is the 'best' way. I want to apologize for my : behaviour and attitude, and postings that may have offended anyone...I : deeply apologize. Right On...we are NOT "PROFESSIONALS" Granmama is right, and let us not forget it...
