Insane [in-seyn] – mentally ill.
Oh really? Wait while I ponder this a moment.
Just one moment.
To continue a certain subject that has been haunting me for a while, like a little voice in the back of my mind, I was asked what I want do in life, I suppose everybody gets asked this by someone at some point in their lives, and I can bet all the money I do not have that 90% of the people do not know, and that the other 10% think they do and will never end up doing it.
I have been very passionate about a couple things in my life, since the second grade I wrote in the daily journal that I want to be an actress.
As a 10 year old I was obsessed with being a lawyer, or perhaps a detective. The past couple of years have introduced me to a different passion, the human mind, writing, art.
Most people would say that means I am an interesting person, some might even declare me strange, and as usual, I will disagree with the masses and go with the simple few that declare me strange.
Even I would declare myself strange, and although I like to seem as if everyone likes me, I have major problems with people in general, and to be even more sincere, I have major problems with everything, in general, of course.
I analize things alot, I am somewhat of a perfectionist, who tends to be very lazy, and most of the time completely deviates from the subject, and not to completely contradict myself, but who the hell do we think we are?
Who the hell do I think I am?
I actually considered sitting down in a room with a person across me and telling them they are insane,crazy, or any other synonym to go with the diag-nonsense.
Who am I to tell somebody that they do not think right? Who I am to say that they should take this and that pill to be normal?
Are we all just completely insane or is this just me and my over-analyzing mind?
How dare we say that one person can be more sane than another. Are we all not just a planet filled with utterly senseless people? One more lost than the other?
Then this thought comes to mind:
“What if we are all crazy, just that some of us hide it better than others.”
Tell me that when you are enraged you could not simply kill someone, tell me this, and I will not believe it.
Never in a million years.
Because, you see, you could kill someone. Your control stops you, and depending on how much control you have, you remain calm, or you go on a killing spree.
Is it possible that the people who do not have control are the most sincere people on this planet?
Look around you and dare to tell me that everyone is not hiding behind some fluffed up mask. Dare to.
Just dare to.
I can think of ten people off the bat that are lost in their hopeless facades, never to really show their true face to anyone, forever considering themselves well controlled human beings.
To further fall into the rabbit whole, I will run the risk of declaring that the study of the human mind is possibly the most dangerous job a person could choose.
Imagine having a patient, who thinks that by cutting every piece of flesh off a person, he/she frees the persons soul of sin. Imagine going to bed at night and wondering if your so-called patient will wake you up in the middle of the night to show you his/her theory, hands-on.
What is the worlds biggest fear today?
Terrorism, yes? Nuclear War, yes? Biological War, yes?
And do not mind if I ask you, who thought of all these things that we fear the most?
Did god send them to us in a heart-shaped box? I suppose not.
I am quite content to say, that WE did create all of them.
Terrorism, Nuclear War, Biological War, everything, all us.
From the moment that Homo Habilis ate his neighbor to be able to see the light of the sun the following morning, and up until the moment when some sick prick figured out how to blow to smithereens a city in a matter of seconds, we were pure, perhaps even normal.
And now we have the courage to sit down in a leather chair that probably cost $1000, and tell someone that they are completely out of their mind?
Man is quite possibly the most complicated machine to have ever existed, and the fact that I and many other people would like to take apart its very control center makes us what?
Special? Or simply disturbed?
Alot of people say that to be able to understand crazy people, you have to be a bit crazy yourself.
Whoever said this had no logic whatsoever, imagine you have two oranges in front of you. I ask you the next question:
Which orange is more orange?
Referring to the color.
Person #1 says that the orange on the right is more orange.
Person #2 says that the orange on the left is more orange.
And person #3 says that he sees no orange, that both are apples.
Whom do we believe? Do our indoctrinated minds tell us that person #3 should be eliminated immediately?
Most likely it is our first instinct, because person #1 and #2 have something in common, person #3 is completely off subject.
Well, guess what, there were no oranges, both were apples.
Person #1 and #2 are pacients in a psychic ward in North Dakota.
So who are the crazy ones?
Us?
Because we already have an instinct that is developed completely upside down?
Or perhaps the two patients, because they do not have this instinct in them?
You tell me.
You are the human, the smart one, the rational one, the well-controlled one.
You ask what I want to do with my life?
Doctor or Patient, you take your pick.
my uncle has skitzophrenia he said to me one day!
“you show me a sane human being and ill show u a liar struggling to come to terms with themselves” i duno how true it is but it always stuck with me!
we are all in our own way “just that lil bit crazy” if we werent we’d all be the same and life would suck!
i liked this blog ^.^
kep <3
he said something to you very true! but the question truly is, did you consider him crazy? and possibly if you didnt consider him crazy, would others around you say you are crazy?
its these kind of questions that boggle my mind completely.
hahah insane no far from it! he was one of the sanest ppl i knew! made mores sense then most of the ppl ive ever met! and yes that led the rest of my family to belive i was insane but eh i always was the black sheep of the family hahaha we both used drugs to moderate our problems the only difference was his were legal and prescribed hahaha!!1
hey, we all deal with our problems differently i guess, it is quite interesting that your family considered you insane just because you talked and understood him, i wonder how they would feel if the family declared them nuts just for talking to someone.
Humans can be so judgmental sometimes its truly: insane.
I love it. If you look at history, are not the people we celebrate the ones that at the time were considered crazy? No one remembers all those “normal” people.
It’s those strange parts that make people interesting.
That is also so true! And the irony of it is that nobody seems to catch the drift! If you saw that the world thought Van Gogh was crazy, and now the world thinks he is brilliant, why would you go along and say that the artists of today are perhaps crazy, it is so funny how humans never seem to learn from their mistakes.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
my family are extremely judgemental upper class snobs well for the greater part anyway! sumtimes makes me feel like a spoilt child when i whinge! but my uncles been gone three and a half yrs now he stopped taking his meds because his brother told him there was nothing wrong with him it was all in his head! unfortunately it was and its ur head that screws u! i’ve never felt safe around most of my fanmily since that day! only two or three of my family members know i write for that very reason! i dont want to be judged by wat i write!
i suppose we are all afraid of what the family might think of something we do, friends, or everyone, perhaps when we finally no longer care, that is when we are truly free.
There is often a thin line between genius and madness. The human mind is a fascinating thing…
yes, that is what i mean, but i am just afraid to study it, because it leads you into something truly unknown, uncharted territory, and i am not sure i want to do that you know?
if we all follow the same roads we nmever find those new places to explore.. the mind is the final frontier do u have wat it takes to explore it :O thats the way id think about it:O
wow! that is a very interesting way to look at things, never thought of it that way, but you are completely write, i suppose somebody who wants to study the human mind must be able to control it first, before studying it, thanks so much! completely changed my perspective!
