normal humans?

I've just been reading about what "normal humans want" because well, i honestly am back to feeling like i don't fit into this life 2012. and i have to stop myself from confusing needs with wants. needs are of course a certain amount of food and water per day and sadly, in this society, enough money to keep a roof over our heads (and those of our loved ones). who but Dr Freud could help me with this dilemma?

and this pretty much sums me up today:
Civilization and its Discontents.” On the one hand, we are animals seeking pleasure, motivated only by “the pleasure principle.” On the other hand, we need the order of civilization to save us from the pain of chaos. But the restrictions of civilization curtail our desires. So the very thing we invented as a means to our happiness becomes our obstacle.

that hits the nail on the head my friends. i want to run away from the world i am a part of. i want to live far away from the constraints of the "normal" people. i want to be on my own land where i can run around in my pyjamas all day if i so wish, running free with my animals and doing what we are meant to do. live off the land. this world of 9-5 mortgage slavery. it is so confusing and to me seems everything far from a "normal" state.
