Today's media reports only on the extremes of life. We are constantly either fed with news about people doing extremely bad things to others or to themselves; or people achieving extremely fantastic things for themselves, others, or the world as a whole.
What is wrong with us being exposed to the extremely fantastic and the extremely wrong things that happen around us? We consciously or unconsciously compare ourselves to those and adjust our own values to meet those standards. We don’t even take into account what our current circumstances are. Whether we would ever be able to meet those standards or not goes straight out of the window, and we then place such unrealistic expectations on ourselves. This leads to us having a miserable existence because we always feel less than what we see. And average has now become mediocrity.
