Odd Again (Jan. 12)

In thinking about odd again it came about in thought that we often refer to certain kinds of people that are odd. On the one hand it is very clear that this is a matter of perspective and circumstance. One culture would view certain aspects of other cultures as odd. Also those who travel to other parts of the world will be considered odd simply from the fact that they do not fit in within the given culture that is present around them. But going back to the concept of odd numbers making up half of all numbers, could it be possible that the world is made up of more people that are odd than we would think? Certainly we will make allowences for the cultural issue, yet it seems that people in general are odd creatures, if not always, for at least brief moments in life. Perhaps odd is normal.
