Giving a damn and striving for excellence require both commitment and personal effort.
It's far easier for individuals to settle for the status quo, the everyday mundane.
Thus, as long as people tend to seek the easy way in all things, complacent acceptance of mediocrity will always be far more abundant than enthusiasm for excellence.
very well put. as an addict i always took the easy way even if it was the way that made me miserable.

Yeah, what you said. Excellent points.
