Harrison Bergeron

I found this shorty story incredibly interesting. It made me think about how no two people are inherently equal to one another. This makes the world interesting. No one wants to watch a sporting event where the two teams are perfectly equal. No one would want to watch a movie when the actors are just as good as the average Joe sitting on the couch. Just like in the story competition would not exist. If competition didn't exist it would be difficult to have a drive(You wouldn't be able to have that "drive" in the first place) to do better, because there would be no such thing as better. I am still having trouble truly picturing the world Harrison Bergeron was in. As it sounds it is not a world I would like to live in, and to be honest I can't think of a single person who would want to. No matter the person, they all will have at least one thing about them that is above average. One thing that makes them unique, one thing that makes them special. I can't fathom someone wanting to give that up.
