All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.
- Ambrose Bierce
We all are weird in some way or the other. Some of us run in the middle of the night. Some pierce their entire body. Some of us strum acoustic guitars and smoke joints. And others go to church. Some sip expensive wine. Some jump out of airplanes. Some hold crocodiles. When we try to understand people by personally relating to the things that they do, we usually can’t make any sense of it. Because it’s easier to see weirdness in a sea of normality, than it is to decode the logical methods behind one’s madness.
But when we look just a little deeper, by making a noble effort to understand people by truly listening to why they do the things that they do, they never seem quite as weird. Actually, they begin to seem…
Almost normal.
