An unintended insult

Strolling through the viral streets of Facebook, I came upon a startling statement thoroughly entrenched in naivete and lightly dusted with disrespectfulness.

"....this is not 'acting' it is coming from the heart!"

Apart from the fact that it is sorely lacking in correct punctuation, which causes it's meaning to be sloppy at best, it is offensive to those who actually do work to produce a quality performance. Acting (not in quotations, mind) should always be coming from the heart.

Theatre is an art form. Art is around to express the hidden world inside each of us. If it's not coming from the heart, then it's pretty much pointless.
