HuskyDog† 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2010 Treat everyone with respect and love. There is no condition for sameness or difference, behavior or belief. We are all different. In fact, this reminds me of a self-quote that I have had since I was in 8th grade (I believe). This was before I found furry and everything. I didn't stress over being different, inasmuch as I just wanted to be me. "There is no such thing as normal. We are all weird in our own way." Truthfully, "normal" is an illusion. There are cultural "norms" but everyone has their own quirks, habits, and oddities. If someone was truly normal (as we perceive "normal" to be), that person would be truly weird.

And while normal may be an illusion, it is one that many people believe to not be an illusion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
