Surrounded by Cuckoos, but I was the crazy one
If you’re surrounded by cuckoos but you’re considered to be the crazy one then that just means that normalcy is something based off the majority. I think we’ve discussed this in class because it seems familiar but pretty much our society’s standards of normal is whatever is being seen done by the majority of the people. Like if I were in some country where everyone eats meat and I decide that I don’t eat meat then people are going to look at me as if I were crazy because well I am since normalcy is something completely and totally subjective. So based off the title, you’re pretty much crazy if you go against what everyone else believes or whatever they’re doing. I’ve never really had this type of experience like I mean there’s been times where I’ve felt that I have a completely different belief from everyone else I was discussing it to and then it felt pretty awkward and weird for me but on the most part we agree to disagree and don’t resort to accusing each other being cuckoo or something. And sometimes being cuckoo is fine because being normal all the time does get boring. You just have to sometimes spice things up a little and get outside of the box because honestly if no one ever left the box then a lot of awesome discoveries and developments wouldn’t be part of our society today. If you research famous and legendary scientists, inventors, or philosophers you’ll be pretty amused at how many of them were considered as weirdos in their time.

Crazy people should be in charge of everything.
