The Rule About Weirdness

Weirdness is only weirdness when it happens where normal stuff is supposed to happen, but weirdness becomes normal when weirdness happens when its supposed to. It is so weird that it is normal. Weirdness can not happen if it its normal. The impossible is possible because nothing is impossible. If it where impossible that would be weird and as we already proved weirdness is normal which is impossible. It may be strange to think of weirdeness this way, but not really. Everyday we go about our lives accepting the weird as normal and vica versa. Most of us do not even notice it. It has just become a common part of our everyday living. This rule about accepting weirdness that we all follow helps us to justify our lives and the actions we take as we go about our relationships with other people. When you ask yourself the question "What is normal?" how do you define it? Is your definition the same as mine? No. We are not all the same person. We are all unique. You are not everybody. Yet everybody is everybody. Alike is so many ways and still we all are so very different. It is exactly the weird stuff about you and I that makes us all individuals. The very thing that defines the difference between us and them. If everything were normal then the universe would indeed be a very boring place. So in God's great wisdom he created the universe and everything in it to be weird and not normal. I believe that the reason for this was to cause us all to question and wonder about who and what we are. To ponder where we came from and to learn and grow with eachother. Weirdeness allows all of us to see that although we have flaws even those flaws are perfect. Those little imperfections help us to see that we indeed are not God, but a part of his creation. Weirdness keeps us in our place and reminds us that even when we think we have it all together anything can happen to bring our world crumbling down all around us. It reminds us that even when the world seems to have forsaken us miracles (a.k.a. Weirdness) can happen that lift our spirits and imrove our lives. All the time all around us each day weirdness happens, but it really is not as strange as it may seem. Weirdness is really quite normal. To many people I think that is why it is so strange. Most people do not have normal lives, but that is as it should be. Weird!
