What is Normal?

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I'm busy planning a war, and I forget to share my thoughts. I did want to take a few minutes to get some of my thoughts on paper, so to speak.

Normal is just the most commonly accepted perception of reality. Of course, common perception doesn't necessarily make something true or right. There was a time when most people thoguht that the world was flat or that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Only a madman would think otherwise. However, thanks to the non-conformists, we now know the truth, or at least the truth as it is commonly perceived today. :)

However, even though it normally takes a non-conformist to make breakthroughs, society isn't very accepting of their non-conformists. Most normal people will ridicule and berate the non-conformists for looking or acting differently. I love a good hamburger. Most normal people in my neck of the woods do. However, in some cultures, eating a burger is like eating the family dog. That is also acceptable in some cultures.

Remember to be more accepting of your non-conformists in the future. One of them may someday solve world hunger or develop a method of alternative energy.
