What is normal?

1 January 2011

Society is a Procrustean bed of normalcy, in which some people, no
matter how hard they try, never quite measure up or fit in, and thus are
driven to retreat from society. With this retreat, the tyranny of normalcy
tightens, and society shrinks by losing individuality, creativity,
productivity, and progress. Society needs variety, and sometimes it's not
normal to be normal.
