So I've been wondering,if I have to try 50 times harder than most nts to try to just make my life mediocre what is the point of even trying.No one in this world wants to be just average,so why should i push myself harder than the rest of the world?

Its a fair question, I suppose because you (and all of us) are worth the effort.

What are you especially interested in?

I'm sorry you feel life is futile at such an young age.

I have found more pleasure in hamburgers than filet mignon myself,.

What is, on the surface , mediocre might actually be sublime.

Society teaches us to scorn mediocrity, but I think it's an unhealthy philosophy. All people are of equal value - some are just lucky enough to have been dealt a better hand, in terms of circumstances and talents. Doesn't make them better, or more important. We all do the best we can with the hand we were dealt. For some of us, our accomplishments don't amount to much, but considering the crappy cards we were playing with, it still might qualify as heroic. :)
