no thx

First thing that comes to mind when I think about leaving a mark on the world is my artwork cuz atm thats probably the most memorable thing I'd have to offer anyone who truly didn't get to know me. When I'm dead people might be like oh that dead guy created this art. Still, I don't create art to be remembered because it won't matter since I'll be dead. Its simply to get through my life and enjoying the ability to creatively express myself.

In regards to being an average person, hmm that doesn't matter. Life is simply a test before your soul ends up in a place of eternity. What I'm honestly trying to value and change my perspective of is the soul. The physical body may be a treasure but its only temporary.

I've accepted the fact that I'll probably be average, but should you really care?
If people remember you after you're dead, great! but well.. you're dead..
Everyone tries to be above average, and most of them think they are, but just remember: If everyone is above average, nobody is.

Genghis Khan and Kim K.? Those are your examples for being immortalized?

I don't really care if I'm an average person, no.

In the grand scheme of things almost everybody is average. My parents are overall average people, but they mean more to me than all those famous people, historical or present. To me they are exceptional, and have had more of an influence on me than Genghis Khan and the Kardashians. They're immortalized forever within me and through me, so how can they be considered average?

From my own perspective, there is nothing like an "average" life or an "average" person. Everyone is special, but one just needs to figure in which area they excel the most. Everyone leaves a mark after their death, whether it's in a small scale including just family,friends,etc or in a larger scale that might include the whole world is what varies , but still that mark you left changed someone's life (even if it is just a single person) and, in my view, even that is considered significant and therefore, I insist on the idea that there is nothing called "average".

I just wanna slay dragons in peace.

i will strive to make advancements in holographic technology in order to bring anime waifus to the 3d world

What I want:
"Never say never" and "You will meet the one" never to be said again.
This bachelor degree to over with.
Less weed being smoked by neighbours
Less noise by neighbours.
Mental health.
A job as a teacher.

Sounds average enough to me. I gave up on exceptional somewhere along the past 6 years, don't know where.

The fact that people like Genghis Khan exist makes almost all people below average. For every one huge name there are a TON of no names. That means for every one person above average, there are a TON below. Being lifted to average, like above poster said (probably not thinking about it in the same way at all), would be a benefit(?) for most anybody (not very much at all, though).

I don't care.

i'm below average so leveling up to average would be very nice.

The only way Kim Kardashian will even be "immortalized" is if they bronze her rear and place it on top of the statue of liberty. the woman and her family are nothing but fads who pale in comparison to Genghis Khan.

As long as im happy and I can continue helping with foster dogs I dont really care about being average or having fame.

Screw average, I don't want to be or do anything anyone can be or do. I want to leave my dent in this world.

[quote=muchadvice]i think about that a lot.

most of the people around me are highly driven by money, hedonism, tangible superficiality/flashy things for the sake of it, want a mate they click with to live a comfortable life.
to me, that is the epitome of ordinary and bleak.
i dream big in the way that i want to build an ivory tower of myself. it's about creating my own meaningful space in the world and coexisting harmoniously with those i choose to open doors to. well, that's my definition of rich; one great fixture of mine.

no, i'm not content with having ordinary experiences that make a life. [/quote]

Let me hit you with a simple hypothetical question then:
If you were to be given an opportunity onto something that is higher than where you are right now BUT at the cost of doing something that your morals does not agree to. Would you do it?

ducks and dinks aside, i want that aura someone with power has. that felling you fell when you know you have met someone with power. even if its in a small niche, you know he is the king of it.

[quote=rixworkwix]@Traitor: ...are we talking about ducks are dinks?[/quote]

No. If you had to kill a duck, would you do it? The answer is irrelevant.

Personally, I will strive to be above average. Only I can change the outcome of my life, fight fate if I must but ultimately an end's an end. I don't think it's about the outcome[it does matter but to a lower scale] but the journey how we get there that matters. The ending is but a moment, but the journey is a life time. [b]I will be above average.[/b]

@Traitor: ...are we talking about ducks are dinks?

i would like to be average

[quote=rixworkwix]got a problem with ducks? i love ducks. i shove them right into my heart and blow[/quote]

What if sitting a duck meant killing a duck, would you be up for it? Hmmmmm..... Shall you allow her fame and glory for sitting that duck?

[quote=Traitor]I'd like to think to myself that I'm slightly above the average person with the amount of effort I've put in.

Rather be who I am rather than a woman famous for [b]sitting a duck[/b].[/quote]

got a problem with ducks? i love ducks. i shove them right into my heart and blow

[quote=AbyssMind]It doesn't even matter seriously. You're dead. Your identity is over and perception of being remembered is over.[/quote]

Now imagine if everyone thought like this. No one would strive for greatness, no advancement will be made because everyone is satisfied with being average. No more basilmarket or the internet probably.

Food for thought.

I'd like to think to myself that I'm slightly above the average person with the amount of effort I've put in.

It doesn't even matter seriously. You're dead. Your identity is over and perception of being remembered is over.

Absolutely not.

While the idea of being average isn't necessarily a bad one, it also isn't much of a positive one either.

When I think of "average", I immediately associate it with stagnation.

I know I won't be remembered as an average person.

I'd love to be an average simpleton. And who cares about what happens after I die? I'll be dead.

hell nawww i needa be somebody thats the future 4 me remember me, u might be rich when i make it cuddi

I don't know, but I live to be happy.
