Have you ever found yourself having the ability to anticipate and appraise the effect on one's actions?
Have you ever found yourself not having the ability to understand, not having the mental capacity required to deal with someone?
Haven't we all been on both sides of this? So, are you sane, or insane?
If you come across someone who you can't handle or understand, are they the crazy one because you can't relate to them, or, is it you, because your mind is the one that can't process the other person correctly?
Is it possible to be sane and insane at the same time? Does one actually cause the other to exist within you . . you feel sane because you do understand from your perspective, but, that's not how it was intended, that makes you have the mental inability to appraise one's actions properly.
If one person is wiser, smarter, more educated, more common sense then another person, leaving the second person not having the mental capacity required to enter into a relationship with them, appropriately . . does that make the second person insane?
That is the definition . . so why isn't the second person mad?
How do we make the determination, then?
What if every person sitting in the psyche ward who's having delusions have actually evolved to a level where they're able to see the truth, while the rest of us are REALLY the ones living in fantasy? Who's really mad, then? Do we know that their delusions aren't real? Or, do we just think we know this because we are the ones insane because we are still living on this lower mental existance?
What if you do crazy shit, like . . Be the only one to rip your clothes off and jump in a pool at a party? Or, drive like a maniac because you're feeling daring, or, pissed. Or, start flinging your arms around in a rage?
Are you actually drifting back and forth inbetween sanity/insanity, and the madness makes you think that it's only an emotional reaction? For not having sound rational mind is a definition, right? Once back to sanity, our reason tells us, we just had an emotional moment . .
. . how do know that those emotional moments weren't really a shift in our reality between sane and insane?
In DC at one of the memorials in lower Manhattan, there's a head-bust of some politician, or war hero, or summit . . anyway, his name was Wanton Blount. That's a code for us . . ring up . . wanton blount?
'ell ya. It's got to be 420 somewhere in the world!!!
Anyway, "K-Pax with Kevin Spacey" . . no, but, I'm going to. Thanks for sharing this. Though, I'm a Spacey fan, I'd prefer to read it. Who wrote it, do you know?
What if every advertising sign we see, all information from the media, screens big and small, everything external that we view, hear and process are subliminal messages AND we believe them because we have been hypnotized . . are we insane?
What if a person was abused and voilated so bad that the mind shielded the person from the truth, in an attempt for the mind to protect itself, leaving the person to find happiness inside a fantasy? While in the fantasy, the person feels safe, real, alive . . if they come back to reality, they find theirselves in an environment they cannot endure, there's no coping.
Inside their altered brain . . the person finds sanity and safety. Outside, in our percieved reality . . the person feels crazy, out of control.
Which is sanity?
The one that is felt by the person in a different state, or, everybody else's perception of reality who isn't living in thier world?
What if they're really are "entities" that we can't see, or hear, except people selectively? Spirits, aliens, demons . . any living entity on a different dimension?
Just because we can't hear the voices, doesn't mean they aren't real inside another's head.
Do we know for sure that they are psychotic? Maybe they are chosen or clarvouyant.
What's the difference between a nutter in the ward saying someone is talking to them, or, Erik on the British Ghost Hunting show who stands there and talks to "Sam". I can't see Sam, can you? He's talking to him.
Why is he running free to talk to invisible people, but, others are locked up?
Is it possible for us to cause our own insanity, though, still remaining mentally sound?
Example: After some time in a relationship, we find we don't want to be with that person, we start to not understand them any longer, we no longer can relate to them when they are talking . . we end the relationship.
If insanity means we don't have the mental capacity to understand another . . is it possible that every time, we think we are protecting ourselves from dealing with somebody, we are actually becoming mad, because we are programming ourselves NOT to have understanding of something that we once thought was rational?
