Scenario #1. Jack (or Jill) is a normal person, neither worse nor better than anybody else. He has a family (or is single), goes to work, scolds his children, regularly fights and then makes up with his partner, meets with friends and watches TV. Does he sometimes (or ever) think about the quality of his life? If he does, he most probably shrugs his shoulders and says, "Well, this is it. Why waste time in useless wondering?" So Jack lives in a rut where he doesn't care to find out if there could be much more to experience. He reaches the end of his life having achieved nothing particularly good or particularly bad. A quiet, normal (boring) life, doing what he believes he is expected to do, and this is it, indeed. Just like the frog who lives happily at the bottom of a well, having no idea that a whole wide world exists beyond the walls he sees every day.
