365 days Writing Prompt: The normal

Is being “normal”—whatever that means to you —- a good thing or a bad thing? Neither

To me normal means one is physically and mentally sound. I think if a person is normal it is an excellent thing. Think about the two brothers who bombed in the Boston Marathon, killing innocent people , they were not in the right frame of mind, had they been normal they would not have committed such a horrible crime. 

When I think about normal the battle of Hydaspes River fought between Alexander and king Porus comes to mind. This battle was won by Alexander and King Porus was taken prisoner. Alexander asked Porus how he wished to be treated . “Treat me O Alexander , like a King” Porus responded. Alexander despite his victory asked the king how he should be treated, it shows Alexander was in his normal frame of mind or else he would have ordered him killed. Porus showed he was normal when he gave the appropriate reply.

I like it when everything is normal,the weather,peoples behavior, when I say normal weather,I mean we don’t have snow in July, snow in December is completely normal. 

I visited a store once to look at some of the jewelry on display, I looked at some of them, when I wanted to know what else he had, he turned his back and walked away, this attitude clearly showed his behavior towards the customer was not normal, Would I go back to the store again, absolutely not. This is one of the examples of an abnormal behavior.

Being normal I think is a good thing !

DP Daily Prompt: Karma Chameleon

pad2014-s.png (308×60)

I truly believe our thoughts and actions will influence what happens to me in the future. There are so many examples of how ones Karma catches up with  them. In sports there are athletes who become the best. The hidden fact behind their awesome talent is they take performance enhancing drugs. Do they get away,no they are caught, maybe not when they are playing but after they retire. They end up paying a heavy price for their deceit.

Then there are serial killers who do get caught and face death penalty.  This is what Karma is.

This is why we say,”Crime does not pay.”

When I know my words and actions will influence me in the future, I will refrain from doing anything bad because I will have to face Karma.

I believe in this proverb: “Life is an echo ; all comes back ,the good the bad and true,so give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”
