Good Afternoon Fb Friends and Family,,,,,Lets talk about the word Normal who comes up with the decision of what is normal, abnormal, accepted and not accepted so I looked up there meanings. * Normal- Conforming to the standard or the common type, usual not abnormal, regular, natural. *Abnormal- Not normal, average, typically or usual. Devaiting from a standard *Accepted- Generally believed or recognized to be valid or correct. * Not Accepted- Declined, disapproved,dismiss. So then I looked up... *Standard- something considered be an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison, an approval model. * Authority- The power to determine adjudicate or other wise settle or dispute. Jurisdiction, the right to control command or determine. *General- Of or pertaining to all persons or things belonging to a group or catagory. *Consent- To permit, approve or agree, comply or yield . So basically a goup of people were watched and studied when they had 95% behaving in the same way they concluded that they would call this normal then those that did not conform to their study were deemed abnormal which then turned into accepted and not accepted. I wonder how long ago this study was done and who is the authority to make this decision? why does it bother me ...because everyone comes from a different walk of life, different upbringing, different ethnicity,different beliefs, different traditions and different struggle which should not be looked upon as weird or abnormal, just because its not what another does or would do does not make it wrong. So if we go by what is said to be normal we will find that we are really individuals who do not fit the term that many even myself use as to explain why something should or should not be. We have been molded into believing that something we do not understand or is not a part of who we are should be automatically incorrect. Many conform to what society say is acceptable in order to fit or when out pretend to be something they are not so they are not scrutinized by others and this makes me so sad. I am ok with not conforming to what society seems to believe is normal Id rather stand out be myself without feeling limited to the standards set by others, I do not need general consent to be ME nor do I care to be accepted by people who cannot RESPECT me as I RESPECT them. I surround myself with people who are free from the barriers set by others and are willing to know me rather then condem me. I Love You all and have a great evening.
