To me, normal is just whatever feels right to you. On a large scale, normal to society is whatever feels right - that is, fits into the social norms and behaviors - to the majority opinion of the society. On a smaller scale, normal to an individual is whatever feels right for the individual. When you are in a situation or acting or feeling in a way that makes you uncomfortable or uneasy, you don't feel normal. On the whole, I'd say that society and its expectations can go screw itself, but it's of the utmost importance to feel normal individually. In addition to just feeling -right,- it'll lead to better self-confidence and self-esteem.

Basically all of the Dave Matthews Band's song "The Stone." The whole thing is just fantastic; Its just too long to post here. The Madison Project does an orgasmic a capella version of it too.

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one
Come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
And only the good die young

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun...
And only the good die young

-Billy Joel, "Only the Good Die Young"

The whole song is great, but those are my two favorite verses.

Normal? slj_9354 August 14 2005, 02:19:47 UTC
Normal isn't a condition to strive for. It isn't something that can be gained or lost it is simply a lie given to people for them to base their thoughts and decisions. It has no guidelines or standards. People in general aren't normal, everyone is different, and everyone is alone.
