Is the norm, the ideal?

[Stackthestyles]

I know it's not, but humor the idea.

Freud leaned towards the norm. Milton Erickson leaned towards the norm. Most of the widely renowned psychologists lean towards the norm. At least their theory's do.

This sheep idea, where everybody seemingly follows the same path in life, and are ultimately looking for and living towards a certain 'meaning' is evident in every religion.

Looking at the world as "good and bad" is sheep thinking.

Looking at the world as "AFC and DJ" is sheep thinking.

In actual fact, looking at another person and comparing them to another person is sheep thinking.

When is the best time to follow the norm? I thought I was supposed to be different. I thought I was supposed to always be changing.

Not really understanding your post. The norm is alright, but remember a leader sets himself apart from the norm. Thats what seperates a leader and a follower.
