The madness of being “normal”

by Paulo Coelho on September 14, 2009

Two years ago, I asked some friends the rules of normality. Let’s list more rules on how society expect us to behave, so not only can we leave a legacy to the next generation (see? That’s how THEY wanted us to become!) but we also can be very attentive in not following patterns that other are always trying to impose on us.
.
My inventory of normality is in one of Warrior of Light Online newsletter, but I put it again here. Please check the post Sept 14 at 12:46 PM

So, I’m looking forward to hear from you your rules to be considered a normal person. By the way, this is in black and white, not normal, but very proper for this post.

Thank you!
Paulo

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH (AS I DON’T WORRY ABOUT MINE). HOWEVER, IF YOU DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE, POST YOUR LIST IN YOUR MOTHER THONGE / NÃO SE PREOCUPE COM SEU INGLES, TODOS VAO ENTENDER. MAS SE SENTIR-SE MELHOR, COLOQUE EM PORTUGUES / NO SE PREOCUPE SU INGLES, PERO SI DESEA, PUEDES POSTAR EN ESPANOL

por lo general los que nos encasillamos dentro de lo normal estamos expuestos a no decir siempre la verdad y a no mostrar totalmente nuestras emociones ya que no hacemos nada que se salga de lo estipulado como normal. Creo que con frecuencia deberìamos ser menos cuerdos y actuar con mayor sinceridad talvez asì serìamos mas verdaderos.
