Here’s how people reacted:An individual wrote, “Somewhere out there, there are people just living their lives – making friends, falling in love, raising kids, and having…fun. And then there are people like this, deep diving into capitalic hell without being able to enjoy simple things like “hanging out” without evaluation. Live a little, Kunal, and think a little less, perhaps. An incredibly full life can be lived both a mediocre, an A+ person, and every type of stupid definition in between.” A second added, “Doesn’t correlate with real life for me — people hang out more based on their value systems than anything else and within that, they might seek folks at their level ( A or D-) for a particular thing they are doing. I hope I don’t personally blanket label people at A+ or D- and explore everyone for what they are/bring. Besides supposedly a+ people some definition, maybe total douchebags are often true and are best avoided.” A third said, “Thank you for making me realise and appreciate the importance of being mediocre.” “You don’t know if someone is mediocre or A+ until you see their character during wartime. Everything else is just superficial judgement and utterly useless,” commented a fourth. A fifth added, “‘A+’ and ‘mediocre’ are definitions suited for corporate or organs and best left it there. There is no need to generalise and apply them to the entire population sample.”
