We all tend to be reassured to be thought of as normal. The norm is where mental health professionals intend us to be when we undertake to submit to therapy of any kind. If we are not happy, contented and free from neurosis then we are considered as not normal and treated so we can become normal once more with minimal delay. A happy, healthy, normal member of society is the desired label for finding comfort and peace of mind. If we are restless and threatened in this normal world, then there must be something wrong with us. Society normal behaviour is considered sane and behaving otherwise is less then sane and maybe even insane. There are considered normal behaviours in every conceivable area of our lives put there by our ruling classes for profit and control and many other less then sane motives have been suggested. imprinted in our minds at every turn through the media and conditioning framework that works on us throughout our lives. Even upheld by others of our kind through public opinion that is anything but public and also controlled by the aforementioned conditioning machinery that control our minds and does our thinking for us. That ends when we finally wake up to the game being played with our minds behind our backs. The norms are a big part of how we are controlled and control each other. A very subtle but extremely effective control mechanism.
