A quick expulsion of brain flatulence...

If someone asked you 'How do you make your living?', how would you answer the seemingly innocuous question? With some thought, I realized that i'd have to say that I live when I dance, I literally come alive, every muscle, every tendon, every part of me is attuned and responsive to whatever moves I want them to do, so yes, this is what I do for a living and I definitely do not get paid for it, and from this it became clear to me that there is nothing small or subtle about the seemingly synonymous questions of how one makes a living or how one makes money.

All there is is distinction.
