So I think the media completely goes against this strive for normalcy that you speak of - hence far fetched love stories like The Notebook or aspirational careers and lifestyles of people like James Bond. <br /><br />Secondly, in me saying that people strive for the exception I wasn't specifically saying people strive for their WHOLE live to be unique and the exception - it's about an aspect of it. It's about wanting that exceptional career goal, that personal gain, the love story. So for 'losers', perhaps being the exception for them is striving to overcome their difficulties. Maybe that's an exception.<br /><br />Interesting counter thought, though. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132741881241156253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876052481255841544.post-4184443694480337722013-03-19T20:52:49.018-07:002013-03-19T20:52:49.018-07:00Disagree.

I have a problem with your opening statement - I think people strive to be as "normal" as they can be, and it takes a very particular person to actually want to be set aside from that idea of normalcy.
