“We Have Normalised Too Many Abnormal Things!!!”
Why have we, though? Why have we accepted these things, just like that?
Before we start on this mental exercise, I would like you to take a moment to examine what these words mean, to you as an individual, an individual in the smallest unit of society and in their general sense;
- “Normalised”
- “Abnormal”
- “Normal”

Some of the abnormal things, which I see, have been widely accepted include:
- Wasting food!!!
- Giving politicians a platform for them to talk!!!
- Foregoing our time of rest!!!
- Making the white man’s normal every body’s standard!!!
- Non-white people dying in war or any other form of violence!!!
- Abuse and disrespect in all it’s forms!!!
- Sticking to our old ways of living that encourage isolation!!!
- Wasting away to alcohol!!!
- Exploitation!!!
- The existence of billionaires!!!
- The existence of ghettos!!!

Then, add three things you consider abnormal, that have been accepted:
Thing 1:
Thing 2:
Thing 3:
