United Mainstreams

An Ode to the Average

We are the masses!

We are the average people, those that keep your economy running, who do all the stuff which is needed to keep your environment peaceful, clean and functioning.

We are often frustrated about politicians, because they make us misalign in so many things.

We are those who are influenced by TV and who go with the flow.

Those for whom the system works, who feel jolly comfortable in the system.

Which doesn’t mean that the system is healthy for them; for many/most it’s deeply unhealthy, but they don’t know it any other way.

Those “in the box”, 0815, those for whom KYC always works on the first try.

Those who feel calmly represented by one of the checkbox options.

Those who might deeply agree on some things, and deeply disagree on others, but they all still work within the same system they might be complaining about, because they don’t know any other way.

Those who often, at some point, realize the pointlessness of it all, those that are looking for meaning, for sense, for purpose.

Together, we can build up our futures, intertwining the streams, the mainstreams. We sail along understanding, anchor at gatherings and in love, create love, together.

Being “mainstream” is not an insult, but it’s quite the opposite.

I am someone who likes “Pringles Original” and Hausmannskost. I enjoy many things which can rightfully be considered pretty average.

This is not about any everyday “hero”. It’s about the everyday kind of person and how this person can keep the roots of its ancestors and blossom beyond.

It’s a superpower.

And also how we are often used by people with more power for their mundane goals.
