There is this idea that we need a reason to get up each day in order to get the best out of our lives and to live a long and good life. We allegedly need to find our passion to do our best. Do we need to have ikigai or a passion?
What’s in it for those who peddle these ideas?
Money?
Superiority?
Annoying others and making them feel inadequate?
Perhaps we need to accept that we are ordinary and should accept what we are.
We could try to be better and we could do many things, but not because we should but because we want to.
