We often accuse others of normal or abnormal behavior.

But think about it for a minute, just what is normal?

我們常常會判斷別人的行為，正常還是不正常。

不過你想一想，到底什麼是正常？

One day the Director of a certain mental institution called one of its patients in to

see him. And he said to the patient, "According to my observation you've improved a

lot recently. You've started to steal things. You tell lies. You cheat the new patients.

You do many of the bad things that normal people do. So for these reasons, I've 

decided to release you from the hospital."

But the patient very nervously asked the Director,

"Please wait a few days. In two days I can receive my disability pension check."

When the Director heard that, he was very angry and he said,

"Get out! That statement of yours proves that you're now absolutely normal. You're 

not qualified to live in this mental institution."

有一天，一個精神病院的院長叫他的病人來跟他談話。

他說：「按照我的觀察，你最近有很大的改變。你開始偷東西、開始撒謊、開始欺騙新來的病人，你現在會做很多正常人會做的壞事，所以我決定，你可以出院了。」

不過，這個病人他很緊張，他說：「院長，可不可以慢幾天，因為再過兩天，我就可以領到這個月的殘障津貼。」

院長聽到這句話，他說：「你馬上走，這句話證明你現在是完全正常了，沒有

資格再繼續住在精神病院裡。」

Normal people often do bad things that so called abnormal people are incapable of doing.

Think for a minute just what is our standard for normal and abnormal.

We should think about this before we accuse someone of abnormal behavior.

所謂的正常人，常常可以做很多壞事，不正常的人辦不到。

所以，我覺得我們應該反省一下，我們對正常的標準是什麼，

才判斷別人的行為不正常。
