Of course, I find what most people deem to be 'normal' as exhibiting all of those qualities and I can't quite understand why it's not more obvious to more people - that what we define as 'normal' is often quite pathologically unbalanced.

I tend to think that 'normalcy' more than a condition is defined by adherence to what is accepted as 'normal' without regard for whether it is rational or sound. And that's just crazy.
