If you think about it, the middle class, the middle child, the almost lover, are all trapped in the middle. It seems like the middle person always has more to prove. They don't have the means to live up to their better counterparts, and are too arrogant to settle for the simplicity in life. The rich have nothing to prove, and the poor are blissfully oblivious. The eldest child is always perceived as the favourite and the youngest will always be their baby. The almost lover fights harder to justify that they meant something, while the significant other needs to do nothing, because they are already assured.
Where does this leave the people in the middle? It's a sad place to be, not letting yourself be happy because you want more than you can get but will not settle for less.
When did we become such thankless people?
I think it's high time we all understood the meaning of contentment, and loving life for and with all we have. That the things not within our reach are not meant for us at the moment, and that it's okay to have less and for the things we already have, we remember we are blessed.
