A multiple personality is in a certain sense normal.

Summary

This quote suggests that having multiple personalities, typically associated with a dissociative identity disorder, can be viewed as a normal response to certain circumstances or experiences. It challenges the notion of a single fixed personality as the only form of normality and suggests that the presence of multiple identities could be considered an adaptive coping mechanism or a result of complex human experiences. It calls for a broader understanding and acceptance of the diverse ways in which individuals navigate and adapt to the complexities of life.
