Why are most people ok with a mediocre life?

Some people give up. You can't fight everything all the time.

Our interests and behavioral dispositions are as unique as our fingerprints.

Even within a family, one’s way of being happy may not be the same with another. One, for example, may find that he is happier when he is in a contemplative mood and his twin brother, steeped in group laughter and fun, may find solitary disposition rather boring.

We notice that the differences grow bigger when one has to deal with people from other cultures.

Humans are free to do what they want, without this freedom there could be no morality. In such a case, no basis for what could be deemed as good or bad behavior in the eyes of a God because without freewill we would just be pre-programmed unable to change or alter what has already been laid out in front of us. There are only two things certain in each one of our lives, we live, and then we die, everything in between is up to the individual.

Hard determinism only clouds the mind if we are enslaved to thinking we are free, then those who believe that they have no control over life are going through life making decisions based on what they perceive as pre-determined. To say we have a path set for us is to make us no more than a robot, and because robots cannot discuss topics intelligently and cannot act intelligently in situations proves that theory wrong.

We all have identity each human individual is unique even twins are different. Our minds are just as unique as our fingerprints

Every child is born with a unique set of personality traits. Ask any

woman who has given birth to two or more children and she will attest to

the fact that while still in the womb her children showed marked

differences in their behavior.

We are all individualistic, meaning that we are all different in thinking.

Our minds are as different as our finger prints -

no two are identical. Palmistry also says the same

thing. Every human is unique. Not only do our

organs differ, but our personalities differ. Each

human develops different goals, and has special

traits or feelings which differ in a million

different ways from others.

Significant differences exist between the male and female brains. Although what follows has been meticulously gathered from the research and writings of leading scientists and psychologists, it is by no means a hard and fast rule or description of every man and every woman. Every person is different and unique.

That every person is unique and has an intrinsic worth.

Everyone is different no matter what, although there are some people who are similar but not the same.

Everyone is born, and everyone dies, but its the role in the middle that makes everyone different.

Birth and death are common but the work done in life matters most.

Aristotle once said, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be

able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Listening to

others' ideas may not be easy, but it could be an valuable way to

learn something new or change your perspective on life.

I'm assuming by mediocre you mean a nine to five office job. Eating out once a week. Going to disoneylsnd every once in a while in the summer. A boring bland life that no one will remember. Most people are ok with it becuase its better than being homeless on the streets. We live in a society dependant on money and there's nothing anyone can do about it. People who have a mediocre life are either ok with it or accept it becuase its the only way they can survive. We can't all go out and live with Forest elves and discover new lands and fight monsters. Find happiness in the mundane life we are forced into.

You got to fight the negatives and look for solution and be happy even if bad things happen to you or bad cards you dealt with. Life is never fair, but, you got to be positive and confident whatever traits you have to survive in this world and need to adapt to fit in it.

Maybe it's not mediocre to them. Not everyone wants the same things.

It's generally not for philosophical reasons, it's for sociological, financial and psychological reasons that people remain in a mediocre life (whatever that really means). It's about leaving the "comfort zone" of the known and predictable for the unknown and unpredictable, and it's about the effort required to achieve an unpredictable result. For the most part, people are passive when life isn't too uncomfortable for them. "Human nature".

Fear coupled with stupidity. Let them. They deserve it.
