He lives in a “normal” neighborhood where nothing terrible ever happens. This is just the latest in a long line of unfortunate events that have happened to him. While talking, he said, “Why can’t I just have a normal life?“.
But is there such a thing as a “normal life”?
There is no such thing as “normal”.
People constantly search for a normal life.
Movies teach us that this is what we should strive for: normalcy, tranquility and safety. But life is not like that. Things happen. According to new-age spirituality, everything happens for a reason, and you must dig deeper to understand why. And while I agree that everything has a reason, are we capable enough to really understand it?
The truth is, we will never understand the real reason why good and bad things happen to us.
Accept reality as it is, then act accordingly.
Accepting doesn’t mean liking it.
It simply means to look at life objectively. This explains why certain marketing techniques, despite being politically incorrect, are incredibly effective. This is also why woke people are completely out of touch with reality: because they can’t accept life as it is, but instead try to force their view of the world onto others.
The moment you begin to accept things as they are, harsh as they may be, is the moment when you start to act more efficiently and actively solve your problems without hoping for a “normal” life.
