Just about sums up the times we live in. The profoundly abnormal has become normal. Have a nice day.

Quote of the day
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

We are in a bad place in the US. Normal for so many is violence.
Sadly, so very appropriate for the world we live in today.🙁
I guess all we really have is our sense of hope...
Many thanks for this...it certainly makes one think.
Stay safe, my dear friends😊😊

...and what really is normal?
Thought provoking quote
The deepest grief is the sense the upheaval doesn't feel right, facts don't jive, pieces fitting where common sense tells (most) of us they shouldn't.
So true! Have a great weekend, Valerie
I guess there are too few critical thinkers in the United States these days. People need to get off these online sites and start thinking and analyzing things for themselves. I'mm beginning to think a herd of cattle is smarter than some of the people out there attempting to destroy our democracy. Including their enablers.
I totally agree with the quote. The abnormal people are normal only in relation to the abnormal society in which they live. Sadly, our present so- called democratic societies are definitely abnormal.
I agree with Inger. People need to stop following like a herd of sheep & think on their own. Excellent thought frame.
I take comfort in the fact that no-one else can go out either.... for once I am not alone!!! In lockdown here in England, although I am live alone, I am under the same conditions as everyone else.... except foreign nationals (who don't speak English so they don't know the rules). This IS my normal.
Interesting.
The quote is so true, especially nowadays.
There’s a lot of truth in those words. Thanks for sharing them. Happy weekend.
Rico el Cheesecake de limón y yogur.
Pensamos que vivimos en una sociedad normal, y es triste ver que cada día es más anormal
Buen fin de semana. Cuidaros.
Un abrazo.
True comment by you after the quote.

We think we live in a normal society, and it's sad to see that it's getting more abnormal every day
Good weekend. Take care of yourself.
A hug.
Very true and very interesting!!!
I really must reread "Brave New World."
