The need to be abnormal

If we produce what they produce others win some money because our production will be too plentiful and cheap.

From very young we received the first signals that "tastes nothing about writing ', ie we're hearing about a little to our tastes, preferences, needs and desires are often different from those of other people.

But the information we receive is not strong enough to convince us that our preferences are not universal but are very personal, individual, own. Some humans may want the same as us but most prefer other things varied.

The discrepancy between what we like and taste of other individuals of the species, usually, if you ordered from lowest to highest: quietly uncomfortable, annoying, irritating, painful, threatening, terrible, excruciating, deadly.

Indeed, we find it hard to recognize the lack of consensus with our ideas, tastes, opinions, views, convictions, beliefs, prejudices.

We can hardly believe that we need to feel normal and for us is normal, healthy, acceptable, correct, mandatory, that we are all equal, or more precisely, that others are identical to us.

It is on the basis of our fears we understand that what is not legitimized by the unanimity of other human beings. As well cost us acknowledge any error on our part, then we feel that others are wrong and they are potential enemies as' I have the certainty of how aggressive feel toward those who are different from me. "

It is because we feel comfortable with our peers and threatened by dissent.

When it comes to how we make a living, if we do what many will feel normal but our production will have little value. To win you need something different and we need to be abnormal.
