What is with this "normal" and "different" anyway?? I keep seeing this here on answers, and it's weird.

When I see a flower I love it unconditionaly and don't expect anything back. With people, someone said, if you give or even loan anything, don't expect it back. That seemed good to me. I love people and I don't let them abuse me, but I just love them and that's it. I even hate thanks for being 'normal.' The pressure just rachets up throughout history and will not get less and less. We know that. And before the election the strategy seems to be to increase pressure until we feel so unsure and unsafe, we'll go with the agenda of those profiting from the situation and those who feel we are in a life and death struggle. I would say you will see and hear a lot more extremism, at least until after the election. I think people are getting wise to the idea that we are manipulated and if they don't like the way things are going, that won't be enough, they have to have the courage of their convictions. Frankly I wouldn't give you two cents for any party. My only hope is in people waking up and setting their own agenda, instead of a fear based one. That takes love and courage 24/7. Not many are up to it. Oh yes, do you want out? Read up on Emotional Intelligence. After all, fear and love are emotions and strength, on a day to day bases and in a crisis, is based on emotional intelligence. Your life doesn't revolve around those people or any people, but around you. They aren't what's happening. You are what's happening. If you get that you've got confidence and they will say, "She's got it." It is EI. Believe it. It is sometimes called EQ. Of course then they will all be 'different' so I hope you will still want to be kind.

Normal is relative. Different is relative. If you mean gratitude as in grateful then it depends on the situation. If you mean different as in from a different culture, then I am very grateful when one opens the door for me. If different as in handicapped then I am grateful to my old co-worker who helped me a lot. I showed her I was grateful back by buying lunch.

fear. Most of the time, when its an individual, you are more susceptible to tolerance and understanding, but when it comes to 2 or more, then you have the mob-lets all think alike mentality, he's/she's weird, he's/she's gay, he's/she's of a different race, hun most of the time if it were just u and that person, you'd probably take the time to get to know him'her, but when people get together, its always that one person to point out and harp on the differences, for me, that was the best part about being from nyc, i learned TOLERANCE and appreciation for the diverse.

This does not make any sense. Can you say it a different way so that we can understand and respond? Thank you.
