It's too easy for people to be mired in life, for every important thing in your life three mundane things exist to distract you from it. Do the mundane and the average take importance over the unique and exceptional? Or could it be the reverse?
Watch the movie Rent, They sing about how many moments are in a year. You spent the majority of those moments working, studying, driving or doing something else you don't enjoy (or marginally enjoy) for a few moments of pleasure each day. It is in this that life is especially cruel. We are each allotted a certain amount of time in life and no idea how much that is. I could spent 8 years in school to be a doctor and be struck dead the day I finish. Sounds pretty fair eh?
On the flip side if you waste your life chasing short term happiness and live to be an old man. What did you accomplish? Can you tell your grandchild stories about the battles you've fought or the things you've done? Will your children respect you? It is in balance that all things are meant to be. The mundane can be enjoyed. Cooking is a lot of fun; Driving is a lot of fun. Don't let them become mundane or you'll waste your life being unhappy.
