If veronika decides to die (Paulo Coelho) and she was given another chance. Would my mistakes be forgiven too? As much as one hopes, when there's no way out but to come out of the nuthole, they'd be forgiven. But when one does come out of d nuthole, will the society ever have the same respect for the person? Veronika had to deal with the consequence of her action that she was to be kept in a mental hospital. Wasn't because she was mad, just a silly action of hers that induce a general stereotyping by human. Abnormality and Normality, is just another stereotype, whose to judge where one belongs in which category.
I read a very interesting story from the book, "a certain amount of potion was added to a common well in a kingdom, which happens to be the source of drinkin water for the whole kingdom. The potion added in, was a potion to turn everyone queer. Everyone in the kingdom drank the water and turned queer. The Royals being in a castle has a seperate well. When everyone in the kingdom turned queer, only the royals could see the truth. However, since everyone was already queer, the ones that was view queer by the community, was the royals. When the Royals attempt to implement some changes to fix the current situation, everyone in the community lost their respect for the royals. The Royals which they once respected. They rebelled and requested for the royals to leave their throne." Do you think the royals should leave their throne, or to keep their throne, but drink from the common well and to turn queer only to seem normal to the rest of the kingdom and to keep their throne?
It's often hard to decide which decision to make and which decision to go foward with. However, either ways one is forced to choose, coz, "Everyone" need to belong in a category. "Normal or Abnormal" But who should be the judge?
