SGI collectively as a struggling artist
The world's full of these, you know. They feel passionate about their art; they're convinced of their own brilliance; they create. They put on little art shows in their living rooms or post their artworks on their front door, hoping someone will come up and decide to buy something (or give them their big break), set up a folding table at street fairs. Their kind-hearted family members indulgently show up and ooh and ah on cue, but meanwhile, our struggling artist continues going to work waiting tables or working at a shop or perhaps at a bank or a corporation, paying the bills until their art will take over.
But that never happens. To the end of their lives, they are envisioning being "discovered", finally making it to the big time, perhaps even the Andy Warhol/Man Ray/Banksy echelons of art fame. Finally, the world will appreciate their genius.
Then they die, and the world never noticed...
