The Mediocrity Trap

Are all people created equally?? Are we equally innately good? Are we equally creative?

The fact of life is that people are not created equally nor are they equally good or creative. Society prods us to fall in the trap of mediocrity by teaching that everyone is equal and
to stifle those few who do have higher or lower potential (intelligence/drive/contextual consciousness) so as to fit them into the equality (mediocrity) mould.

With a whole universe to learn from if one has an attitude of humility (and encouragement and inspiration from another), succumbing to the peer pressure of ignorant, arrogant self-gratification is the ultimate waste of spirit.
