The Marvellous Middle Class

If we were to live in a world of utopia, should we support the glorification and the pedestalization of the middle class?

A mediocre middle class lifestyle, as one might see, seems devoid of any thrill or adventure, you have the same routine life for over a decade, you take trips once every 3-4 years from your hard earned savings and you can always be called in by your boss at work. In the most practical sense and given its practical nature, glorification of the mediocre might make sense. It makes sense to put the narrative that it is okay to fail, to struggle for money, to not have your best day everyday, to find solace in little things , to work under someone else for the rest of our lives because that is the reality of the majority people- not because they are lazy but because most of them lack the resources which only the privileged have access to.

In reality, the world glorification has implication of an innate choice that has to be made- If everyone were to be glorified, no one would in reality be glorified. That being said, glorification of the mediocre naturally leads to villinisation of ambition - the same ambition that motivated human beings to break their barriers and achieve the unthinkable. Moreover, in the very niche sense, such glorification would hurt the systematically oppressed the most and create a trickle down effect who would then be okay to live the life they are born with, who would then not aim for the highest goals, less agency to break out of hierarchy leading to the death of any aspirational value left in the world.

Given the above intersectionality, what would you prefer?
