Mediocrity
" the hardest battle of every man is against mediocrity", I said. She looked at me , her face pensive and surprised.
" you mean for you, your hardest battle in life? ", She asked. " I guess for me and many of my elk, we do not fit our aspirations, and somewhere we lose our resolve to reach, and then we have to compromise , we have to settle for what remains." I answered.
" and what is that remains ?". she asked. "life in its quiet spherical motion, in its everyday flow, in its habitual comfort",
I said. " And is there anything wrong with that ?", she asked. " Not really, you play the hand you are dealt, but there is a conscious tension in you, a longing for what it could be", I said.
