We've given ourselves a catch 22.

We can never live up to our own impossible standards that exist only to perpetuate our species, and yet when we on occasion do live up to those standards it's either because through struggle we've finally managed to reach standards low enough that we can't help but not fail them or because those standards were never high enough in the first place.

And yet it's dumb simply to strive for those standards because we made them up and they don't mean anything beyond being goalposts for the sake of being goalposts.
