LOOK IN THE MIRROR. What you’re looking at is normal or, at least, it is YOUR normal. That face may be more or less attractive than other faces, but it is YOUR face and, thus, it is what you see as normal. And who’s to say what’s attractive, anyhow? Standards of beauty come and go and differ from one culture to another. There are Pacific Islands where fat women are regarded as the most desirable. You’re not going to find any diet books there. Normality is a standard that is much more difficult to measure in some contexts than others. It may be something that can be counted and, by simple arithmetic, an AVERAGE can be determined. Or it may be entirely subjective, like the guy staring at the woman with large breasts and a face like a moose. “Wow,” he exclaims, “she’s beautiful!” NORMAL, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, as we find ourselves dealing with “the new normal,” such as multiple mass shootings per week, increasingly devastating climate catastrophes, and politicians with such fragile egos that they can’t admit they lost an election. Normal in today’s hyper-partisan times becomes, essentially, what we become used to seeing. But that’s no legitimate measurement. It’s like the familiar term STATUS QUO which Ronald Reagan famously defined as “the mess we’re in.”
