When I was a little kid, the first thing that happened to me in school was that some nun handed me a piece of paper with the outline of a rabbit on it, held up a crayon and told me "the idea here is to keep it between the lines" and put the crayon in my hand. Everything else I learned in school from that moment on was mere footnotes to the notion "the idea is to keep it between the lines". That's all I need to know about life. It's really not that hard to act normal. You don't even have to perfect it, you just have to ballpark it. It's the path of least resistance....being normal is easier than any other option. And really, the demands that society puts on us are not that much of an inconvenience. You stop at red lights, you don't murder anyone.
