On most days I just want to meditate, catch up with family, exercise and perhaps hang out on the beach or travel to exotic places.
Is there something wrong with that?
As far as I can tell, there exist certain rare people who really, really enjoy things that the rest of the world finds tedious. These people get good at those things, not because they want to be the best, but because they enjoy doing them. It's not weakness to prefer to spend time with family, it's human...
Totally. Perhaps we have so many choices, (claim to) understand so much we are in tune with the banal futility of most of it. It's paradox of choice, extreme existential edition. Make the best of it and find something most interesting, also survivable and occasionally fix broken stuff other people accept by walking past.
