Mediocrity

I always believe that what is rampant in the world in any realm is what exists betweent the black and the white. When it comes to competence this fuzziness is best described by mediocrity. What you'll see in the world around you in great abundance is not excellence or gross ineptitude, it's mediocrity.

For those who choose to be perfect, excellence is a way of life. And for the dull-witted, idiocy is the norm. It's the mediocres who are stuck in the middle of nowhere, deciding to leave a stamp of mediocrity on every piece of their works. It's like a handicap. A disability of habit.

We probably don't realize it but the world is driven by the top 1-2%. And it's also pulled down by the bottom 1-2%. The rest contribute to global warming.

I know for a fact that mediocrity is the worst kind of disease. Most of us suffer from it in one form or another. And while there still are people who can remain committed to excellence in some walks of their lives, they are only mediocre at others.

So what's the cure? Gas people as Hitler did and raise the overall excellence level of humanity? Probably not. After all we have moral and ethical constraints. And then there's that odd piece of shit called reality. Which screams loudly into all our ears reminding us how we are all mediocre but arrogant.
