It's normal, which isn't to say common: it's an admirable quality, one that every human ought to practice, but pretty rare. There are so many people--I won't call them "morons," because I'm more sorry for them than spiteful of them, but... they're morons--who are perfectly happy being obsessed with deliberate distractions like TV and obsessive, totally vacuous social networking--their are actually people who subscribe to Entertainment Weekly magazine, who have never peeked, or felt the urge to peek, in a philosophical journal like Mind. Let alone think things out themselves. So your disposition's commendable, that's what I think: Bravo, guy! Keep up the habit... the world needs thinkers.
