The insanity of the world and the orwellian masses acceptance of what is “normal” reminds me of an Aldous Huxley observation:
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”

Yes #1, I feel abie-normal.
I’d be ashamed of myself if people considered me to be “normal”. The only thing that could be worse is being “in style.”
What is it that makes someone “normal”, or “sane”? Only that you behave as everyone else does, and are firmly part of the “herd population.” Once you can be led around by the nose by your need to conform and fit in with the majority, all of a sudden you’re “acceptable” to those in the business of leading humans around by their noses.
No thanks. I do things my own way, regardless of what the idiots are buying into this week.
I doubt I was ever ‘normal’ by any definition of the word, but especially not theirs.
Nor would I care to be.
