yesterday, i was thinking about how there is no such thing as normal, just typical. who defines normal? it is defined within a society, & the way such a thing is determined is a result in how many people look the same, dress the same, think the same. sameness is normality. a child with add is not "normal", whereas a child who can sit still is. the society defines this & puts the hyperactive child on medication. there are all different types of normal, in all the different societies this world has to offer. if there are so many different versions of normalcy, which is correct? in europe, it's normal for women to refrain from shaving their underarm hair, but such a thing is unheard of in this country. who is correct? nobody, the removal of underarm hair is just a typical thing in the states, & the avoidance of the act is typical in europe. neither nation is correct in what they determine is normal, because there is no such thing. where would one determine the boundry between normal, & abnormal? they wouldn't, plain & simple.
there is no such thing as normal.
there is no such thing as normal.
