I'm not THAT bold.

Normal has always been debatable but I think it's more of a notion of conformity. Like a person conforming to popular and well accepted beliefs and practices. It's the details that are the most debatable part.

Me, I use to be a cop. I quit a year ago to move on to something that would make me happier. Paladin knows this though cause we met at work before that.

"In behavior, normal means not deviating very much from the average. "Not normal" is often used in a negative sense (improper, sick, etc.). Abnormality varies greatly in how pleasant or unpleasant this is for other people; somebody may half-jokingly be called "pleasantly disturbed". Examples of "normality" are mainstream, temperance, vanilla sex, equilibrium, stability, reality, peace, health, middle way; contrast these with eccentricity, perversion, paraphilia, intersexual, disease, disability, mental illness, addiction, war, crime, fantasy, dream, hallucination, illusion."

Whether one "conforms" or not has no bearing on whether one is "normal". Some conform to abnormality.

Some conform to abnormalty and they would be normal in those circles.

What would be normal in one group may or may not be normal to another group. All needs to be taken into context when we're talking about norma. I may not be normal to those I work with, but I might be with those I hang with. One religion's normalcy may be another's indulgance. A person and his voices may be normal to him, but he'd be heavily medicated and given a ride to LakeShore if he told certin people of his 'normal' voices.
