average

Everyone is pretty much categorised as average. In fact, the majority of the population- no matter they are white, black, Asian, America, Australian, African- are average in the things they do. Very little can make a breakthrough from this pool of normality. For most people, they would need to be a genius to a god-like level or stupid to the bones. But, it is rare. I call them the defects of the society, cause in a way, they are mutants from the pool of average people. When I talk about average, I mean the success of an individual around all fields- academy, arts, literature, work. Even people at the international level, some of them are still considered average at their professions. This leads me to question: Is the real meaning of life to swim out of this pool? If it is, then does that mean that most people are in fact failing in life? What is a success? Is success scaled by happiness or by reputation? I'm still young and I'm still seeking for answers. I am doubtful of so many things. But within all these doubts, I have the desire to swim out of the pool of normality. However, through my lessons in English, I am taught that struggling is futile and struggling against the natural order is even more futile. However, I just don't want to stay in that pool forever.
