What is the Point in having High Standards?

[Bridge]

The people with high standards are generally speaking more passionate than those with low ones. They spend a great deal of time on whatever the artform in question is and the criteria by which they judge have been refined by tons of experience and knowledge. Art means a lot to them and they wish to see the ways in which it can be improved upon and expanded. Therefore they seek out the very best movies/games/whatever there are and remain optimistic for whatever the future may bring. It's not possible for people like that to lower their standards.
