  • "For the most part but not always, I see mediocrity as a failure in ones self. As many times it comes from giving the least of yourself, doing the minimum to get by, working just enough to continue on, applying the slightest effort needed to escape complete failure! For the very few situations that we find ourselves in that were uncontrollable, inevitable, preyed upon, ruined by unforeseen forces &/Or circumstances, or some bad choices that were ( unforeseen, forced, betrayed, preyed upon, loss induced, ect.. ) that placed a person in the category of "mediocrity" in their eyes. Those instances I don't see that as mediocrity as that is just a specific time in that person's journey. So they have not always been or will always be at that point, because they continue to put everything into whatever they do or strive for! That Spark is anything but "mediocrity" /Grin . . . . But for the most part "mediocrity" is all around us as too many don't have that spark, too many want to be the same, because of their own insecurities & fear to let others see their differences! And I personally see sameness as boring, and it hangs out with mediocrity much of the time... There are some that look like they are sheep and the same, but actually are anything but that. At first glance you will most likely miss it though. As they are that way because it's who they are, and not because it's safe, normal, or even to fit in. It's just them... Those people may technically be "mediocre" per the definition, but not in my eyes. As those same people could be different or more, but they are showing who they really are, comfortable, and would be living a lie, miserable, and fake if they tried to be different. As they would be doing it to change how others viewed them and doing the same thing as many others do when trying to be like everyone else and fit in... The last part of this message might be very confusing, and probably to in-depth than I needed to be... Thank-you for reading and commenting! It is much appreciated... Damon Tarloth "

  • "Sometimes, I can fake it pretty well! I basically wrote it as a "Smart Ass" response to a challenge. That ended up being a 3 part short-story that I never intended to write at all. /shrug . . . Thank you for reading and commenting :)"

  • "Sometimes I actually meet a good person, and occasionally I start to care about them. Those select few are the ones I either push away, or show them they are better off without me in their life. Everything crumbles around me, and I'm okay with that. But I'm not okay with someone I care about, getting hurt by something that was meant for me. It's just better for everyone when feelings are not part of the agreement.. Thanks for the read and the comment... :)"

  • "That's an interesting pondering thought. "but will we know it when we do I wonder?" That's a good point, our memories might be wiped, scrubbed, or deleted. Maybe this life right here is actually considered to be death, and we just don't remember..."

  • "I never want to forget where I came from, the path I have walked, and the lessons that should be learned or at the least not forgotten, so I don't make the same mistakes down the road... "

  • "I feel much better with the results of how this one turned out compared to the original version. I thought about removing the other version, but decided against it, as I need to not forget the road that I walked or the progression along the way... Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment on what you read... The input of others is a very important part of the improvement process to the author... Thank you! :) "

  • "Thank you... I don't listen to them, but I did go check them out after you mentioned them. Most of the time I listen to instrumental music when writing. It's usually Adrian Von Ziegler and sometimes Brunuhville. Amon Amarth has some great instrumental pieces also, thanks for mentioning them... :) "
