TEMA#6 – Normality

What is normal anyway?

If you are normal, I cannot be. Do I want to be normal? Normality has advantages – for example, the advantage of acceptance – on an agreed normality because in normality, the majority of a society comes to a common denominator. What is considered normal is what meets expectations. What is normal is average, comprehensible, stress-free and does not disturb - in short: normality is boredom. But perhaps normality is also the place where one can live in peace? And once again the question about the rules for normality arises: Every age, every social group and every culture has its very own definition of normal. In our peer group, behaviors and conditions can be considered normal that others only shake their heads at in confusion. We plead for a normality of diversity. Perhaps normality is also a matter of habits - acceptance grows the longer and more closely we are confronted with something. In the best case scenario, what was initially new and different thus becomes normal.
