Thriving for the Unachievable

What difference does experience make? No, this is not a cry for help... just a realistic observation. We live our lives trying to grasp perfection; our niche, our one famous quality that is incomparable to others. If you are not elite amongst your peers are you significant? If everyone is good a something, is there a need for at least one "loser" to whom everyone can compare to to make themselves feel superior?

Life is a marathon, trying to answer the retorical question... to be or not to be. Should we strive for the unachievable or should we give up? Retire our fight and accept no challenge? But, if we don't have goals, what do we work towards? To get out of bed in the morning we must set a minor goal for ourselves. There is no such thing as perfect.. why waste the energy aiming for it.

What can we do? Go on as average, quit as average? Aim for perfection? Hope we're not the idiot that makes everyone else look good? Either way we are wasting out time either working towards the impossible, failing our attempt to be impossible, or a loser. Sort of depressing. Oh well... life goes on.
