Wow. That is excellent. I love the analogy and then how you tie the analogy into how it applies to people. I think your therapist will be very impressed. May we all build a solid foundation and fix the cracks. A solid foundation, even if it means starting over from under the ground, is crucial.

Just one part seems a little contradictory to me or I may disagree with-

Quote:
The question that needs to be asked is, “Do the majority of others have solid foundations”? As discussed the answer is no. Within the above examples there is “no norm” shown as there exists no firm evidence. At this point “normal” can only be a perception of another person at any given moment in time.
If normal means having a decent solid foundation in order to function than I think the majority of people have that even though they all have cracks in it. The buildings all make look as different as the grains of sand but you kind of defined "normal" as the underlying foundation that allows people to function. Maybe I am misreading that though.

Quote:
However, as previously mentioned, certain laws still must apply for a person to function.
Do those laws define "normal" at least to a certain degree?

I think I want to steal it and give it to my therapist....lol.
