What is Normal?
So what the heck? What does being normal even mean exactly? Well by definition, normal means conforming to a standard; usual, typical, expected, etc. I read another definition online that suggest that normal also means (of a person) free from physical or mental disorders. Well that's not fair. Let's say you were born with a deformity that you never asked for. You didn't ask to be non-normal, but because that flaw is apart of who you are, you will NEVER be normal. And then there's meeting a standard. So if everyone in my family uses chopsticks and I couldn't, would that be a complete disgrace and I would be considered strange? Well. that really sucks. Think about it. Are we all normal? Being ourselves in this society isn't normal. It's the same as being perfect. Who's perfect? Yeah... that's what I thought. Don't worry. Normal is completely boring anyways. If we were all perfect, there would be little fun and room for error and forgiveness. There would be no forgiveness because it wouldn't exist. Ask yourself this: What would you consider being normal?

ReplyDeleteAgreed, I especially like how you pointed out that being ourselves in society isn't normal because no one in this world is perfect. Everybody is different in some way shape or form so I'm wondering if there is there actually any such thing as normal?
