There’s a certain pleasure in being.. average. A very particular lightness that’s familiar, but never worn out. The knowledge that no consequence of your imagination will be significant enough to make the sky turn a hazy purple. That no turn of the weather – be it for better or for worse – will be attributed to you. That your actions wash over whatever substance there may be even in your own existence. There’s a certain pleasure in being mundane.
There’s a certain calm in being ordinary. There’s a certain calm in being simple. In knowing that maybe someone somewhere appreciates simplicity more than intrigue.
OMG no one is ordinary – it is all in the head – is that your mantra really? cuz seriously it aint gonna work nothing out!
what is so calm in being ordinary when ordinary is more associated with things rather than human beings?
That thought, right there, is exactly what I mean. I think that simplicity, normalcy.. the quality of being ordinary, or rather accepting being less than extraordinary.. these qualities are extremely under-rated. I believe it’s more important to be straightforward and original than trying to be extraordinary.
The image caught my eye
I kinda second your thoughts here. Very well put.
Heheh, I actually wanted to put in the formula for geometric mean instead
Geometric mean with n being? Number of people in the world? Phir tou kaam ho gaya
Fortunately, I can delegate the grunt work
Being average is unique.
Very well said
Moreover avearage is so useful when you’re marking students :p because you don’t want to be an average evaluator
Love your gravatar.
LOL! Oh khuda khuda kar ke to yeh GPA ke khayaalaat zehen se niklay hein, kyun tang karta hai bhai!
Leonardo da Vinci had reportedly said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication…
… which is why I think that you shouldn’t have put that formula over there.
LOL, he reportedly said that? Did you just sound like GEO or have I been watching too much news?
Haha! Yeah, reportedly, because there’s no actual evidence that he ever said that.
And dude, if you have to watch news, at least watch something other than Geo.
I actually prefer DAWN and Al-Jazeera, but sometimes I watch Geo for all the drama
Waise there’s another quote about simplicity by Einstein that I truly truly love… Make it as simple as possible. But no simpler.
thats very modest
being simple makes life very easy…at least u will always be satisfied
Oye hoye kya baat hai aapki, baray dino baad aamad hui
Waise satisfy hona koi zaruuri nahi hai
There is beauty in simplicity. But not much appreciation for it anymore.
And that quote by Einstein you put above. Love it!
Thanks!
That your actions wash over whatever substance there may be even in your own existence?

There’s something strange in this post that it went straight to my heart!:) Beautifully written. I just loved the way you ended it.
We all are ordinary in a ’special’ way. Problem comes when one tends to be ’special’ in a ’special’ way. That goes like a conflict with human nature:)
What happened? o.O
Depends on what you mean by average. “Average” also represents the “balance point”, the fulcrum around which everything rotates. It is ideal to be balanced, and the most balanced of individuals was the most ideal, our beloved Prophet SAWS. ahe was said to be most beautiful in behavior and the most handsome of men. It is interesting that the most we find those faces most beautiful that are actually an “average”. Someone actually made a composite face of thousands of male, and separately of female, faces of different races, and the composites turn out to have features that we would call “beautiful” or “handsome” as the case may be. Here’s the link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averageness
Heh, very well put man, and DUDE that was so calculated
yeh i am very simple but stylish *snooty*
