"He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.β (Lao Tzu). Acknowledging who we are, being aware of all the bad and all the good about ourselves and in the end trying to do the right thing, to be fair and just is self-mastery in my book. We all have different sides to us. Which side we choose is the only thing that matters. I do not believe there is a clear cut definition of normal. Remember; Nature did not gave us "The ten ways on how to be normal", society did. Nature gave us the instinct to be alive and all that being alive implies and the society run by errors in her design are trying to fuck us over. Natures errors are rare, thats why only 1% of humanity are the most powerful ones on the planet. I agree compadre ... We re not the issue here.

You wouldn't believe, right now I am reading a book from Lao Tzu :P Coincidence?
Agree with everything you said, everything is a construct by society. As I've mentioned earlier, so yeah, we can only strive to be the best version or ourselves everyday, and better version than the day before :)
1400 years have past, Lao Tzu still taking us to school. Makes one think what the world would be like if there were not for people like him. And yet society as a whole achieved so little in the way we think. A wake up call is past its due.
