Today’s Abnormality Is Tomorrow’s Normality

Have you ever noticed how what we call abnormal, or even madness, today often becomes accepted as normal with time?

The reason is simple: what seems abnormal shakes up the stagnant order of what is considered normal. It introduces fresh ideas, while the so-called normal rests on ideas that were once dismissed as abnormal themselves.

The people we label as mad are often the very ones who push humanity forward. Without those willing to step beyond convention and offer something new, progress would be impossible. At first, their ideas are rejected, even ridiculed, but over time the majority begins to recognize their value, and what once seemed outrageous gradually becomes part of the norm.

That is why we need tolerance toward what is different, for it carries the energy of new ideas, and no matter how strange it may appear, it should not be dismissed. After all, the present we live in rests upon foundations that, in their own time, were seen as foolish, eccentric, or utterly abnormal.
