How to use "Ordinary" in context?
lives
When we look around, we can see extraordinary lives being led by people who occupy positions of power or influence. But what about the everyday people who make up the vast majority of the population? What do they do with their lives?
It can be difficult to judge what someone's "ordinary" life is, because there are so many different ways to live. But one way to think about it is that an "ordinary" life is something that everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
Some people might consider an "ordinary" life to be one where they go to work, take care of their families, and spend time with friends.
