Insanity or Compulsiveness??
Friday, 13. November 2009, 17:20:31
Everybody has seen atleast one movie where a character is considered "crazy" or "insane". But do you ever try to find the insanity in yourselves? In my opinion, everybody has thoughts that would be considered thoughts of an insane person. I believe everybody thinks of the most extreme thing like killing somebody or committing suicide, but those dubbed "insane" are the people who actually act on it. This brings me to the question "Are these people truly insane, or just more compulsive than other people?"
Ever since I was a little girl I have always had thoughts that scared me, thoughts that I knew would put me in a looney bin if I told anybody or acted on them. I had the will to keep them to myself and control them to the point that they did not control me. What if some people do not have that will and are just overrun by the very thoughts humans in general are meant to have? This brings me to another question. How does a person become considered "crazy"? Do you have to try to kill yourself or others? Do you have to hear things that others cannot hear? Do you have to see things that others cannot see? Or do you have to speak to those that other people cannot speak to?
Is it a mental malfunction? Is it something in their brain that keeps them from being what is considered "normal"? Or is it that those people are considered crazy because they know things that other people do not and that is the very reason why they are put away, away from people that would believe them? Im sure there are many different cases of all these situations and Im sure that not every person in insane asylums are necessarily "crazy". To stay out of a insane asylum, and have these kinds of thoughts/feelings, must you act like a money driven robot like the rest of the human race in order to be considered normal?
What has this world come to that some of the most open and spiritually connected people are often locked up and dubbed insane for their gifts?
I am not saying that everybody in an insane asylum has a gift or can see things others can't but you have to ask how many of them are? I understand that some people do not possess the social skills to be in public or are a danger to those around them, and in those cases, they are necessary institutions. Regardless, in this society, craziness is considered anything that is out of the norm. But what is the norm? Is the norm a suit wearing robot crunching numbers or doing deeds for some head honcho with no morals? Is it the mother with 3 kids, a suit wearing husband, and a white picket fence? This reality is sad but it is something everybody should realize, that humans are classified, categorized, and placed in their own sections like a file in a folder or an animal in a zoo. The "crazy" in an asylum, the suits in their cubicles, the typical mothers in their picket fenced worlds. Think to yourself what crazy and normal means to you and stick with that no matter what anybody else tells you. Stay true to yourself because it is the only true loyalty in today's society.
