Mediocrity, The Forgotten Part of The World

Mediocrity, The Forgotten Part of The World

I love hanging out on internet, I enjoy reading blogs, news, random articles about everything.

But nothing I read about seems really close to my life, what I witness, what I live.

If you read news, for example, economic news, you won’t be reading what this worker’s recent life has been or that job seeker’s feelings and thoughts on labor market, what you read about is the GDP, the Fed, interest rates, retirement, wall street, big banks, big corporations, top economists… When you see articles talking about career, talking about work, they don’t talk much about lower incomer, there are many pieces on which job yields the highest pay, which university alumnus get paid better than the rest, what they don’t mention is those people who are making ranging from merely enough to survive to 15 thousand a year.

Not just the top gets the focus, also the poorest gets attention of course, people care about the top, people care about the bottom, people care about the middle (class), but nobody gives a shit about life of mediocrity.

I guess the reasons are, first, the mind of people in this category just aren’t geared to read news, blogs, hanging out in online communities, they don’t compose the major readership. Also the people who are educated well enough usually aim for either higher class or share some compassion towards the most unfortunate when they are trying to make their voices heard, no one would speak for… the forgotten part of the world, it’s like there’s an underground world, a mysterious, invisible world that don’t show up anywhere in press, in a thousand years people won’t know that there existed a bunch of people, who weren’t the best, neither the worst.

But when you walk around in most cities, suburban, villages, what you’ll see most often are those people, those who aren’t written anywhere, those who can hardly relate themselves to this “world”.
