One can respect but not agree with another's opinion. This isn't the PPR Forum.

In the end, I think that normality, in a positive sense, is being nearest possible to some sort of animal life. After all animals are rarely "miswired", or, if they are, they can't do so much damage a "miswired" human. Hitler, Saddam, Pol Pot, and many other little bosses were probably "miswired" besides having had a very difficult childhood with their fathers (I don't know much about Pol Pot). As some philosopher said, animals and even more plants "live within their limits".
Have I gone mad? Perhaps, but that's what I think.

I actually didn't mean the "between the ears" comment directed at you; I thought you were talking about being labeled "pathological" yourself (as I figure many people here have been, officially or unofficially (including myself)). I didn't mean anything snarky with the OCD comment, either. Sorry if I didn't communicate that well.
