Autobiographies are only written and read of eminent people who have done extraordinary things or lived extravagant lives. What use does an ordinary man’s life have? He is meant to live an insignificant life and die unsung and unknown, except to his immediate family and friends. He never writes his story, or even has the gumption to contemplate doing it. Biographies are also written only about people one imagines the reading populace would even deign to read, or cast a glance at the cover. Is it so outrageous to be mediocre? Is mediocrity to be condemned and ostracized as totally despicable?It does derive that no matter how small, insignificant, unknown and obscure a life may be, there is bound to be an element of intrigue, surprise and attraction in its telling and unfolding, and therefore is it worth narrating. It is of little consequence how many people read it, or if anyone at all does. As a unique example, an instance of God’s creation, that much is owed to that life, lived as per the Creator’s design.
