"Billy is Normal, We Are All Crazy"

Is it even logical to believe that if every person in the world read "Slaugtherhouse-Five," only one of the 6.97 million human beings isn´t crazy? Isn´t this thought taking it overboard? I tend to think I disagree with Viviana´s controversial blog post, yet I think about José Saramago´s novel Blindness, where a plague begins to infect people and they begin to lose their sight. Thinking out of the box, there is a very slight chance that all of us have been infected by a plague and none of us have realized. Vivana´s reference to The Eye of the Beholder is more than valid, we might have grown used to living in this madness and consider Billy crazy, blinded by our own condition. Of course, these thoughts are all far-fetched, but like any philosopher would say, there is always a chance to doubt.

Lastly, I don´t consider Billy brave. In fact, I consider him weak and scared, scared of overachieving, scared of not being satisfied, scared of living in the real world instead of escaping into the fantastic world of Trafalmadore.
