Its normal to have a dog with ears.
But really normal in this case (and most cases I know) is just another word for average eg. if 9/10 dogs have ears its normal to have them.
However when talking about people i believe the word 'normal' should be abolished. Everyone is different, because gay people wern't 'normal' they used to tret like the had a mental disorder that prevented them from being so.
When it comes to people, there is no normal. People might have things in common with each other. but that doesn;t make it normal.

Normality is based upon what we think is real! Now this brings on a new question what is reality? Is it a waking state of being or just a state of dreaming? Personally It's up to YOU! Normal is the state of being in your own little world. Happiness only comes when your inner being and your chi line up in single plain. Try reading some reading real philosophers from the years past. If a tree falls in the woods who hears it, everyone who has ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"To thy known self be true."
Normality is defied by truth. Truth is defied by how the individual sees life. Thus, that truth would be their normality.
Like in beauty, normal is up to the individual.
But unlike beauty, 'normal' has life to compare it self to.
I hope I wasn't confusing.

Normal is defined by majority of similarity compared to the dissimilar minority..... nothing more, nothing less.

normanl,in my opinion there is no standard to be normal but mostly what is accepted by most of people is considered as normal.
it is a relative concept,and has a different interpretations for different people .
