"I find that for me bonsai is like sex. Sometimes the process of getting there is more fun than the big finish at the end."
How to put this delicately....??
I guess I find this process more enjoyable if I'm working with a partner that's attractive (spiritually and physically). If that person is a whiner, with really bad teeth, a mean drunk and has little concern for me and lacks any inclination to improve themselves
, personally I'd rather look elsewhere for a more rewarding relationship...Same for bonsai.
