    Looking around at the world we live in today, I can think of absolutely no reason at all that I would want to be “normal” in the world as it is.

        Thank you sir. Now if I could just get it to grow back on my head where it started :/

        Haha! Hence why I’m growing longer hair and enjoying it while in my youth. Because someday soon I’ll have to face the inevitable. But, just like you, I wouldn’t mind looking like a Viking of sorts 😀

    There was a film, well known in its time (1950’s? 60’s?) sympathetic to people with psychiatric problems. One line from it: “If you’re normal, who wants to be normal?”

      What a great line!

    This reminds me of the quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

      What a great quote. I recently watched a series, “The OA”, where they paraphrased this quote and I found it quite intriguing.

    Guess you just changed my mindset!

      I’m so glad to hear that! Hopefully in a positive way!

    Singer Bruce Dickinson once won a Razzie award for “worst song”. He professed himself to be delighted, declaring that it is wonderful to be the best or the worst but that mediocrity was unbearable. And apparently, actor Bill Murray’s most devastating putdown was “You are a mediocre talent.”

      Thank you for sharing those stories. Those are artists that definitely get it.
