Norms
PAGE IN PROGRESS
What you see here is a page of my hypertext book Me, Looking for Meaning. Initially empty, it will slowly be filled with thoughts, notes, and quotes. One day, I will use them to write a coherent entry, similar to these completed pages. See this post to better understand my creative process. Thank you for your interest and patience! :)

Following norms = preserving the order of things. Seeing the world as orderly as one of human's essential needs. However, as we are trying to preserve the order, we can hurt each other in the process. This is one of the many reasons why people hurt each other.
Opposite of normal - pathological.
Patsy Clairmont: « Normal is just a setting on your dryer »
when we say that something is not normal, that can be seen as offensive. Do we mean that it’s an exception, something rare, less common. Does being rare mean being bad? Normal/not normal - judgement, while more/less common is an observation. Not everything that is less normal is bad, or good. Is it common to be concerned/suspicious about something that’s not common?
