I don't even know where to begin. This is gonna be quite a philosophical post, that I know.
The first step in the process of 'making it big' is not having faith in yourself and belief in your Lord but to actually think of yourself the most supreme with no regard for anyone who comes your way and voila! Well, hah! Loser alert. There's actually a word for such personalities- narcissists.
Well, I am not to talk about narcissists right now, I am gonna include each and everyone of us here. The intelligent intellectual geniuses, successful smart know-it-alls, serious hardworkers, non serious lazy bums, happy go luckys, widely experienced mature wise owls, mediocres, losers, failures, lame joke crackers, super witty ones, sensible enlightening souls, friendly warm ones, freaks, embittered pessimists, extraverts, the genuine ones, drama queens, introverts, realist and optimists, of course narcissists, and all the normal people; all of them having one thing common in each and every one of them- an element of insanity, madness, craziness.
However small(or big) it may be, it varies widely in limit, and may be even dormant or active, but IT IS ALWAYS THERE. Because being too much normal (or perfect) is not normal. As of course, ideal is theoretical only.
Sometimes, and for some, this craziness is also quite a big reason for them being what they are or where they stand or what they have achieved. It is this crazy passion for example, that makes them take the extra step, walk an extra mile to be extraordinary.
There is another aspect of this madness- being a little more sensitive than many, a tad bit more aggressive than all, weirder than others in terms of being social, being more quarrelsome, loving with much intensity as compared to many more(read being too possessive), talking or making jokes more or less than others, doing/ having/experiencing too much or too little of anything in life-being on the extremes of spectrum.
Here comes 'understanding' the other person, and not being too judgmental on our part. If a person is short tempered, persistently cranky, silent, awkward, funny, dull, rude, bullying, serious etc there must be some reason behind it. Maybe its part of their habits, nature, genes or certain circumstances that make them (or has made them)the way they are. They might not have had the exposure and experiences vast enough to make them learn how not to be affected by negative external factors. (Hence, the key has to be "BALANCE" nonetheless; however, the so-called normals might NOT be balanced).
Our motive should be to identify and understand people, and not assume, judge, jump to conclusions, or make snap decisions in this regard. That way you (who claim to be very 'normal') wont be feeling too sensitive or yourself turning all emo and making mountains of molehills if you have an awkward encounter or happen to come across people on the extremes when they are at behaving at their extremest. That might help them feel normal like you too(and ultimately can help decrease the number of people in asylums as well! :o ). Big or small, the element of craziness is found in each and every homo sapien on the face of this world. Everyone has a dark/mysterious/strange/awkward/obnoxious/creepy/evil/sick/weird/ridiculous side and THAT IS normal(though it should be minimum eee).
So, are we normal people with some craziness or are we crazy people with some normalcy(lucid intervals). Or is it one and the same?
I hypothesize :p, it is these lucid intervals in between all our mad mayhem, that make us the big or small achievers that we are -so these definitely need to be prolonged and frequent, while maintaining the equilibrium simultaneously!!! :D
