In this novel the common negative-positive connotation doesn't apply, all the words are mainly used by judging them for their conventional meaning and trying to fit those meanings with the things that are to be described by those words.
Particular conventions:
Intrinsic: In this novel's convention this word is understood as an aspect that a certain individual was born with and that cannot be changed, avoided or denied, not even through rational thinking. Examples: involuntary actions such as "to breathe" or "to blink", both of these examples are considered to be intrinsic human behaviours under this conventional meaning.
Normal: In this novel's convention this word is understood as something or someone that is like the majority of its kind and that behaves as expected. There is no connotation or intentionality in this way of understanding, it is just a conventional and neutral meaning.
"Wow, this morning is not how I wanted it to be, it is so cold that I am going to freeze". I think that's what most of my future classmates will say when they wake up today, I cannot say for sure because it would be an assumption without any basis besides statistical assessments regarding a generalization of people's behaviours. Those studies don't matter for me, I think they just simplify and make trivial certain things that are not assumable, for example, the human behaviour. Well, it is not like I am going to impose and tell not to generalize. I mean, it is just how a group of people see this reality. Maybe they want to generalize to make things easier. I think it would be easier because the people who study that branch of "knowledge" would have to focus on less aspects instead of trying to study each one of the factors that could affect people's behaviour. In other words, they just reduce the amount of possibilities they are going to consider in their study. Mhhh, maybe for them is assumable what for me is not. Well, it is not like it matters that much for me either. In the end, I must say that I don't want to waste time and energy worrying, complaining or thinking about things that are not to be changed under my judgment, like most people do.
Worrying about something? Huh, I'd say I prefer the submission. Why? It is not because I don't have ideals or preferences, it is just that I think it'd be a waste of time and energy trying to convince all the persons in the world that the way I see the world is the correct one, and also I am not the type to try to change others. If someone were to tell me to change, I think I would find it a bother so I should say that I don't like to change but not because of that I am going to impose onto others what I think, I just care about me that's why I don't try to change people, I don't want them to change, but if they are to change in a certain moment I can at least say that it won't be because of me.
My philosophy is simple but hard to explain in simple words. I don't think I can explain it all in a single phrase, not even in a single sentence... though I would say that it is something like this. "We are all individuals. There are no rights, there is no work. The only thing we have is ourselves. We don't necessarily have to follow the others' path since we don't necessarily have to do anything. If there is something that we do, it is under our own judgement and freedom, if we follow someone's orders they are not orders but things we do because we have an especial aim in our lives that we want to accomplish by doing what those "orders" told us to. That aim is not to find happiness, it is not to survive, it is not anything. I could keep naming things ceaselessly but in the end, it all depends on your own will and desires. All actions are plain and neutral, subjective and untruthful. You can think you have friends and family that will always love and support you, but they have no objective need of caring about you, that's why I can say that we have nothing but ourselves" that is a summary of what my way of living and understanding is. That's why I don't understand people who criticize like if there was an intrinsic necessity. It is how most people express themselves...by always shouting the same poor ideals without even thinking in depth about what they are saying. The majority rules they say, they imposed that the bigger the amount of people, the more impact is going to have, and yet... I won't ever understand even a bit of what they all think. And the saddest part (In my opinion) is that the things they demand keep unsolved...poor "most people". It seems being the majority didn't quite work.
