Rooting out crime from your life
Rooting for a normal life can be a fact for many. Given that it reflects a cognition of what is within an individual's life & what it should be like.
Dissatisfaction with one's present is often a good sign for any individual. For the myriads of refugees around the world - this rooting for a normal life can be in many stages as well as in a multiplicity of manifestations.
Yet each assume a certain normalcy in their respective 'external' environments. That sense of 'normalcy' is multiple, changing & effervescent depending upon the progress of the refugee (to borrow from John Bunyan's much older work called The Pilgrim's Progress to emphasize upon yet another kind of 'normal internal' than the individual-internal or household-internal to the private-internal that mark the democratic cognition of the basic private-public spheres/realms & mature adherences to which help form the 'normal' external environment). A normal that is critical.
The progress of the refugee - from a successful escape from his/her environment of oppression to finding camps that do offer some rudimentary & basic protection from the environment of danger/oppression a refugee is escaping from. The normal already has undergone another change here. We then look at the refugee near Europe - in Turkey, for example. The sense of the normal changes once again.
The refugee inside Greece awaiting status clearance for compliance already faces a different sense of the normal than the refugee just out from the immediate region of danger. Something that is qualitatively very different from a refugee undergoing 'normalization' courses in Germany or Sweden - having been accepted as a refugee with asylum status!

So what we do see are entire ranges of the normal, and the sense of the normal. From argot democracies of South Asia whose sense of their normal is best captured in the previous post. We obviously aren't referring to them. They are plain & obdurate crime & pretty low-life to top it (the normalization of it that result their political being synonymous with crime-terror doesn't change the low-life even at their very tops) . We refer to the sense of the 'normal' that a refugee never has had but instinctively seeks in the EU states.
A normal never known to a refugee in Europe except an instinctive even if desperate comprehension of it. Ironically, the very sought 'normal' stands to be threatened by the 'familiar-normal' of the refugee in where he/she comes from! And seeks to escape.
Or the rooting for the normal. Yet which can only come to be with the rooting out of the criminal - from the refugee's cognitive 'familiar-normal'. Simply because there would have been no refugee problem otherwise - apart dissidents in oppressive regimes & who necessarily should be, and would be functioning around the 'normal' the host state offers!
So do we root for the normal? While rooting for crime at the same time? See where would you find yourself - from within a refugee's progress!
