Normal is relative

What is normal? Who defines it? Is it simply what majority of the people we know and therefore society abides by? Or should normal be different from person to person? And why is the ' not normal 'always supposed to bad? I think normal is what the herd thinks and does.and that is what makes normal safe and boring

Is being selfish normal?
Is not wanting to have kids normal?
Is fantasizing about another person despite being committed normal?
Is getting drunk out of ones wits everyday normal?
Is lying normal?
Is wanting to run away alone and leave everyone behind normal?
Is never wanting to work normal?
Is feeling completely out of love with the better half on some days normal?

There would be very few people today who are 'lucky ' to not have any of the above 'abnormalities.' For the rest of us, everyday is a balancing act between what we really want to think feel and do and what we actually end up settling for. This is apparently called growing up-which in essence means kill your soul and compromise compromise compromise to the point you feel like you are tied to chains and gagged in a small dark room with no escape in sight.

We all sin. We all have dark thoughts. Some of us express it ,some internalize. But will there ever be a day when we can express what we actually feel and do what we actually want without the fear of being judged or worse ostracized? Not anytime soon. The best way to deal with it is to find other people who  share hence understand your abnormalities so you end up feeling normal again.
