What if painting was your passion? But you would have no time to pursue your passion because you have to work for money to make ends meet? Wouldn't it be great if you would receive enough money to not have to worry and spend all your time and energy on your passion? In other words: how do you feel about a Universal Basic Income (UBI)?
Now imagine every year a couple of million would be deposited in your bankaccount and you could travel to your hearts desire, buy a third house or fourth car without worrying about the money. You could excersise your favourite hobby! Let's say it's football and not having money problems would allow you to train 15 hours per week (click) and play a game every single week of the year against the best players in the world!
Wouldn't that be great? Funny thing is: the latter is considered normal. But instead of being called 'a Basic income' it's called 'salary and sponsor contracts'.
We live in a society in which getting millions a year is called 'getting paid to work' when you're a top football player, famous musician or top level 'business man' or politician.
When you ask for 12.000 a year so you can do as you please, it's called 'socialist' and is disregarded as being 'bad'. Without anyone being able to explain why it is bad to be able to do what you want.
I find that weird.

I just lost my part time job and am not making ends meet via entertainment because of covid, so a donation (click) is much appreciated:
