Normalcy as a Fixed Self

Don’t get these two things confused.


  • Normalcy (bad) should not be an Identity (good in Western therapy).

  • An Identity (according to Western thought, necessary for happiness) may be a Fixed Self (according to Buddhism, bad for happiness) — I cannot weigh in yet.

  • Normalcy is a version of a Fixed Self — agreed.
