Currently, there is a characteristic among certain groups

When you're not chatting with them, you might think this person is ordinary
But once you talk to them, you'll feel this person is pretty good
Thoughtful, individualistic, with a clear worldview and bottom line
If you extend this observation over time
You'll find that these thoughtful, principled people become just ordinary
As if their valuable inner qualities haven't translated into meaningful external feedback
Their behavior remains eating, drinking, and blending in with the crowd
Is this because society's overall thinking level has improved, leading to a new form of mediocrity
Or are these valuable inner qualities indeed limited in usefulness in our current society?
