The Myth of Normal (Does anyone believe there is such a thing?) R L George

Are you normal? That's a hard question to answer until normality is properly defined, and attempted definitions are in a constant state of flux. Societies evolve, and what was normal decades or centuries ago falls out of sync with each new generation. Change happens more quickly than technology upgrades. There's nothing stagnant about laws, politics, ethics, or gender. Do we really have average families, incomes, or personal appearances? No. Is there a common level of sanity, do people have standard dreams? Of course not. The very idea of "normal" is laughable, if one has a sense of humor. Know that in this crazily abnormal world, your uniqueness is your greatest strength.
