Normality

It's not something easily found. People claim they're absolutely normal but, obtaining that status is completely and utterly impossible. Being normal is defined as being someone who has no odd features, so the term would be summed up as being boring. Yet being overly boring is also an odd attribute. Therefore becoming normal is an improbable goal to achieve and wasting ones time on trying is ignorant. Yet those who are persecuted for their oddness, so much to a point where they are desperate to stop the verbal and/or physical abuse, will go to extreme measures to either become normal or eliminate those who seem normal.

This incident, of persecuting others who are different, happens every day. Racism is a common act and many wish for it to stop. But if one would like the world to change, they must first become the change they seek. So one would have to stop racism as they see it and take even greater strides to stop it and they may even start a revolution. Not a revolution with weapons, but one in the mind.

But if you witnessed racism, or just mocking of any kind, would you step in and do something about it? Many people would answer yes, but a lot of those people would be lying. It is idea that they would but when faced with a situation, in real life, the actual outcome is that they would walk away or sit idly by and move on.

What I'm trying to get at is for people to accept that nobody will be normal or perfect and that some people are singled out and attacked for certain oddities. The fact that people don't care annoys me and the fact that people lie about if they would intervene or not annoys me even more! People must learn to accept others and try to change the world.
