Define it for me? Normality. The most subjective word in the English Language as far as I'm concerned.
A little profound, I know, and I apologise. But see. People each have their own normality, and it is only from talking with other people and observing their lives from afar that I really come to understand this.
You may look at someone other than your self's situation, whatever that situation may be, and think 'Damn, that must be hard.' When in truth, there is every chance they look at you in the same way, and therein lies my point and the round about way I've reached it. Your normality is not the same as someone else's, to think otherwise is the stem of so many problems. Racial, religious, even just simple stereotypes. There are people who believe their lives are normal, they are how thigs /should/ be and that anything else is alien. It is not.
Normality is but a synonym for arrogance as far as I can fathom.
I was inspired the other day, by the brief and summised glimpse I got into the life of James Lipton, a true icon and my all time idol. I think I shall write more often, though not in such a manner as this I think. People need not worry, it was just something that hit me whilst washing pans in the kitchen.
