Indefinites


Define the "Norm". What exactly separates the "Norm" from the "Exception"? Merely the difference in frequency? Or is it something more? Something abstract and indescribable? How, then, can we discern the exception from the crowd? Who is the crowd anyways? The result of such a relevation: it is impossible to draw the line anywhere. When you draw a circle, how do you know if something is within the circle or actually outside of it? It may not be as simple as it seems.

Look Closer. Even the "simple" explanation that the difference in frequency separates the norm from the exception can be unsettling: How do we, as individuals, truely know the frequencies of occurance of things we have not fully understood? Ah... Don't be too hasty in judging your surroundings...
