I want to know what is Normal! - normal is the state of being the norm, that is, the center of the bell curve.
When we have achieved Normal, how do we know we are there? -when you are more like everyone else than unlike anyone else.
Is Normal worth achieving? -depends on your goals, doesn't it ;)
If so, who determines what is Normal. - no one does: it is simply the center of the bell curve. either you're there or you're not.
Am I or have I ever been Normal? - no you are not nor have you been. no one really has: being like most everyone else is fairly hard to acheive in all aspects of your life.
Why Normal? - passing for normal (aka flying under the radar) can be fun. you can get away with a lot more shit when you do.
"Normal" means not having to explain your life to people. So, in some respects, even those persons who are allergic to normalcy, appear normal when they congregate within their own peer group. For example, goth people seem normal to each other when they are together. Citizens of Black Rock City seem normal to each other when they are together. Suburbia does not have a lock on "normal" ;)
I like that in this image, this piece of art, that we are reminded of how hoodwinked we are into believing that we can purchase and ingest 'normalcy'. Granted, I think that some people do much better for themselves when they do medicate themselves for whatever period of time. I don't encourage it but I don't pooh-pooh it either.
I do love that I surround myself with a butt-ton of completely abnormal people. i wouldn't want it any other way quite frankly.
