I think people should stop caring about being "normal". What is normal? Nothing, it's just a word is all, no one really knows what is it. People need to spot being zombies and learn to think for themselves.
Yeah you're right... normal is what the Majority thinks is normal... but noone can say from himself tht he is (completely) normal cuz u can't be normal in every point!
BTW for me it doesn't matter whats normal I only life one life so I try to do what I want and I guess YOU should do tht too!
What? I wasn't arguing that normality is good, I was defining the term for someone. What are you talking about?
I think normality is more complex than just a good/bad duality. Of course it matters what's normal - you're speaking normal English, because you need to conform to it in order to function. That's normal. You also probably don't walk around in a bikini, clown makeup, and a 20ft tall top hat, because society thinks that's weird, and has taught you to not want that. So we're all functionally normal, and that's important for society -- but individuality is just as important in terms of economic innovation, culture, and the pursuit of happiness.
Is normality preferable to individuality?

"Normal" may be imprecise, but it's not nonexistent. To be normal is to adhere to a standard, usually set by a majority.
