We live in a beautiful world.

We live in a world where we are not good enough. Everything we do, we can always do better. Just thinking about school is one example: Adults grading you on how smart, knowledgable, and intelligent you are. In a way, the system kind of seems like a ranking system to me. You get an "F," so you're stupid and obviously fail at life. You get an "A," so you're smart and clearly better than everyone else. But is that really how life works?

It makes me sad that a "B" student can feel like an "F" student, just because there was that possibility of getting the golden-starred "A." Do you really have to be the top to be good enough?
