Normal according to Western standards, and even when I say western standards not everyone in Europe or America lives like this, I think “normal” just might be the most dangerous word ever.
“
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
