Uniqueness of Being Normal...

As I was telling a friend that I was glad not to be normal, the question about what is normal popped up in my head. To get that answer I need to know what normal behaviour means.

If I drive my car on the right side of the road in Holland I would show not normal behaviour. In my country we agreed to be driving on the left side of the road. In England my behaviour wouldn't have raised eyebrows, as it is normal behaviour there. What the values are in one country can be totally different on other places on earth. Normal behaviour is cultural determined.

Wikipedia tells me: "In behaviour, normal refers to a lack of significant deviation from the average." But what is avarage behaviour?

We people surround us with people we can identify with. As being a Kiefer Sutherland fan, I have surrounded myself with people who feel the same. We chat, make art and share pictures with eachother. In this group we see this as normal behaviour. Not feeling the same, another person will see our behaviour as not normal.

My family, friends, colleges and the people in my country do think I behave pretty normal. We have agreed on what is normal with eachother. Being not a member of one of my groups you could see my behaviour as not normal. I'm okay with that, because I feel safe in my world...
