I know “greatness” can depend on each person but do you think some people aren’t meant for it and forever in a s*** position or do you think everyone can be great depending on how hard they want it :​

Some folks have qualities that give em a leg up to what we would consider greatness yes

Plenty of people who would be thought of as a shoe in for it, never make it. Some folks who dont “deserve” it, did.

All relative brudda

We are told that, as he was crossing the Alps and passing by a barbarian village which had very few inhabitants and was a sorry sight, his companions asked with mirth and laughter, ‘Can it be that here too there are ambitious strifes for office, struggles for primacy, and mutual jealousies of powerful men?’ Whereupon Caesar said to them in all seriousness, ‘I would rather be first here than second at Rome.’ In like manner we are told again that, in Spain, when he was at leisure and was reading from the history of Alexander, he was lost in thought for a long time, and then burst into tears. His friends were astonished, and asked the reason for his tears. ‘Do you not think,’ said he, ‘it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?’

mmmmm

Can we get much higher?

I think religion answers that question, depending on how you look at it

But not to let my answer be too vague, no not really, though from my perspective being complacent with "mediocrity" is very admirable and great within itself.

most people are content being average

actually, they aren't really content but it isn't uncomfortable enough for them to try and change their situation

I think we’re all meant to be happy and to love and support eachother
