1st Chunck: summary of article

In this article the "normal man", experience determines or completes them. Once the experience is destroyed, our behavior will be destructive. the author R.D. Liang states how the society highly values its normal man. in the ideal man, we act the the way we experience things. our own experience determines our behaviors. what we encounter gives us an outlook on the way we live or should live our lives. in this article the normal is alienated.
In life our purpose is to experience reality, but this is impossible because we only experience part of it. People are only fragments of what they can potentially be. As adults we have forgotten much of our childhood and acknowledge little else of our existence. “Our capacity to think” is “pitifully limited”, and our capacity to acknowledge the senses is also limited. Many people are unaware that we forget being awake similarly to us forgetting dreams, which limits our experience. The people who are considered “normal” or sane are “pretty much the same as every one else”, and people who are outside of the normal alienation are seen as mad. What is considered normal is to be unconscious or unaware. To be truly un alienated one must be aware. The way that we act is a product of what we experience. If our experience is destroyed then our behavior is destructive. If we don’t control or be aware our behavior we will destroy ourselves. We know too much, we love too little, so we are less than we can be. We are the ones who must take the initiative.
