About Being Average...

I have been thinking about the blog that I wrote a while ago on 'Being Average'... and I think I should clarify that it was more a tirade against the obsessive pursuit of materialism, the tendency of people to define Success and Excellence (and hence their lives) based on the material wealth they have amassed, or their relative position and standing in society. I still think that being 'average' is completely alright in this regard. However, when it comes to evaluating oneself as a person, a husband, a father... Well, I guess one should then strive very hard to do better than 'average'...
