Why are you not satisfied with it? I could argue that you're the victim of our society where we're bombarded with notions that being normal is bad and that we should always strive for more.
Contentment and happiness are internal emotions and if you allow them to be dictated by external forces then you are simply a victim of other people's expectations. What if you are just average, and unable to achieve any of your goals - you will look back at your lack of achievement and dispair. You will be a failure.
Everyone is different - you have no justification for criticising people for seeing the positive in what they do have. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Just the bar has been set so low now. People are just content with acheiving the bare minimum just so they can get through each week. Too many people don't try to go beyond themselves and just stay in their comfort zone relentlessly.
On the Hierarchy of needs people just strive for the 3rd level and then stay there. I just find it abnormal that people don't want to keep progressing and stand still.
