When you read here, you'd think the average person gyms 5 times a day, only eats chicken and broccoli and is ripped, has a bank account of one million dollars and has a job that earns 10k a month. He/she's also super interesting and goes on all kinds of adventures every day and he doesn't sit at home, doing nothing.
In reality, the average person barely goes to the gym, maybe light sessions 2 times a week, and eats what is good rather than what is healthy. Not necessarily fat, but not ripped. The average person can't afford an unforseen expense of 500 dollars because he/she's bad at saving, and the median salary is around 33-3400 per month. When the average person gets home, the most exciting thing happening is whatever is on Netflix, and on Fridays when it's really time to go do something exciting it's to go to the local bar with friends to have a beer. Once a year he/she takes a four week vacation and spends two weeks at home and two weeks in another country, doing nothing but laying by the pool, sipping drinks or partying at some club.
Fact is, most people's lives aren't very exciting, but the premise here is that a person is not even lucky, but expected, to have it much better than this, and I think it hurts the discourse in discussion, because people put too much pressure on themselves to get a life only an extremely small minority live as their daily life.
