7. We are all unique humans.
Our organisms are subjected to being created by the culture and people around us, and then we are subjected to a gross imbalance, i.e., an inculcated idea that we have free will and are totally responsible for everything that we do and that happens to us.

While none of us is normal, because we are unique, we are subjected to the impositions of culture and norms and then spend our lives either trying to relate to and fit into the presented norms, or reacting to or removing ourselves from those conditions.

Not being normal, I find myself having to simply react and relate to those impositions in a way that is practical and that supports my survival in the best way possible and in a rational and viable way. I make no excuses for that, or do I mistake that effort as a way to support or substantiate what is imposed upon me. What is considered sane and rational is at question and I, (and all of us) are left to determine the best route through the systematic method of normalization that serve a cultural set of factors that are self-perpetuating.
