Hey! I'm a recovering Southern Baptist. My mom, aunt and female cousins haven't yet kicked the habit. But you can't say they are not interesting. Rowdy, obscenely funny, loud women I am proud to be kin to. Shame about the religion, but if Southern Baptist heaven is where they go, then it won't be a boring place.

BTW - Still kicking about here.

Nietsche obviously had a rather peculiar notion of "heaven" if he thought that all the interesting people would be missing. ;-) I do get the joke, though. Perhaps he was referring to Southern Baptist heaven or something along that line.

As Dorothy said, "normal" usually means whatever is considered the norm in a given culture.

What is seen as "normal" in one culture, obviously, can be seen as quite "abnormal" in another.

***

Beyond that, "normal" can also mean: "the way it usually happens or is observed to happen".

For instance, human pregnancies normally last approximately nine months. A pregnancy that lasted only 7 months or that continued to 12 months would not be seen as a "normal" pregnancy.

I'm neither dead nor quite alive,
But somewhere in between.
Some parts of me are pinkish
while some others have turned green.
Some parts of me have fallen off,
while some are still connected.
But half the stuff that's still attached
looks putrid and infected.
So when I lay me down to sleep
upon my pillow soft,
I pray that come the morning
nothing new has rotted off.

According to LH defining: I am triply alive - as usual. I am also coming to the end of the almost 3 month long - Moving Household Blues. Why aren't there any songs about THAT??

And I leave for the trek to Apple Hollow (2500 miles) (great thread today!) on Saturday and I am SOOOOOO happy about that!

If I were any more alive - I would be dead tired!

definitions of alive:

1."alive" in the bodily sense - means that the various automatic processes of the body such as heartbeat, breathing, and brain activity are continuing in the normal fashion. If all those activities should cease for a period of time longer than, say, a minute or so...then the body is said to be "dead". This says nothing about the soul, but only the body.

2. "alive" in the mental sense - means that the brain is still functioning in such a way that normal mental processes are occurring or can occur, such as thought, emotions, logic, mental analysis and reactions to things, etc. Thus a person in a coma might be said to be "brain dead", although still physically "alive". A person who is asleep might appear to have no mental activity at all occuring, but they might be dreamin...and in any case, their mental activities will resume the moment the start to dream or wake up, so they cannot be said to be mentally "dead" while in deep sleep.

3. "alive" in the spiritual or moral sense (in some traditions) has a number of meanings. Someone who can and is willing to still improve himself/herself spiritually or morally is definitely alive in the spiritual and moral sense. Someone who cannot or WILL not do so is dead in the spiritual and moral sense, although quite they may be quite alive in the mental and physcial sense.

There are a lot of spiritually dead people walking around busily and making deals with one another all over this world. Some of them are well known, most are not.

I used to know a dead drunk Count. I seem to remember his name was Hepzibah or something like that; we called him "Heppy" and before he'd be dead drunk he'd just have a blast, bouncing around on one leg or the other, going like sixty. Yep, we called him Happy Hurry Hoppy Heppy.   But that was back in my collegiate days.
