Miogen, 74

Am I normal? Let me count the ways. I am intelligent and not prone to emotional decisions. That is I am fact, science, evidence based. That is my prejudice. My entire life has been spent searching for the truth not opinion, in areas that used to trouble me and the world I inherited these troubles from. Am I normal to have done this and not to have taken the expeditious road? The puzzle of life no longer exists for me and I'm writing to tell the world of these novel findings. I am thus calm, well grounded, ethical and have integrity. All the pieces fit scientifically, and once you know the philosophy I live by you will know me to be quite uncomplicated and yourself more relaxed. Perhaps this will be boring, threatening, confusing or scary for you. New people and ideas can be. Am I normal? I do not expect everyone to like me yet I know fundamentally we are all the same. I therefore treat people respectfully as long as they reciprocate. Am I normal? If I allow you to live your life exactly as you now live it, with some added time for us in a relationship of equality (this is important to me), am I normal? If I treat you as the human being you have always been rather than the woman you have become, am I normal?
