A lot of times when I see someone who is different or weird looking, I look down on them. Why do I do this? Its because I form in my mind an idea of how things should be, from my past experiences. So I form an idea in my mind of what is a normal person. However, when I or anyone else tries to define what a normal person is we can't put down a firm definition.
Most of you probably already know this, but I'm a very opinionated person. Then I should be able to come up with a definition for a normal person right? Yes I have, but its not like your thinking. I say the definition of a "normal" person or anything is relative.
If you have an idea in your mind of the "normal" person you can try to explain it, but you won't be able to. If everything you look like and act like is relative in definition it means everybody is different, just like God made us to be. If we are all supposed to be different this makes me want to try to be myself and be different. I should be the only person living my life.
I try to be authentic, different, and myself. I don't want to fit in while still fitting in. I want people to find something different about me that eventually draws them to God. Now you don't have to be different looking and acting to do this, but its just how I do it.
If its by being "normal" or "profound" that makes you who you are it doesn't matter, just be yourself not someone else, be authentic.
Disclaimer: (I must warn that you shouldn't become the wrong kind of different. Don't be the annoying, weird to be around, and just not the likable type because you try to be different. Don't make yourself an un-Godly example of different).
hmm, interesting thoughts! Also I'm not sure if I knew you blogged...
