Yes, painting is a great activity I think , and it helps to take of pressure, that is, it makes one feel better. But if you really wanna become a painter, you've got to be talented, not anyone can influence society by creating pieces of visual art. And you might have it hard getting around to doing things, but in the end all the work should pay off. Just think that there have been painters who weren't at all appreciated during their lifetime, but were posthumously considered to be geniuses. Vincent van Gogh is a good example of that. So you might wanna reconsider it if you think it's likely that you should have his fate.
