We're 'ALL' Crazy...Nuts...Whacky...Loons...But It's Not Your Fault
There was a time about thirty years ago, I found myself alone in the purposeful, subdued light of my bedroom, pondering sanity...
Somehow it occurred to me that I might not know a single 'sane' individual who I had currently been interacting with. At least...I thought...not a single sane adult; perhaps a child could be excluded from the group. Children have not yet been driven mad under ordinary circumstances, until they reach their teen years...
Of course in that moment of time, I was not fully aware of how crazy I was...after all, how could I recognize insanity in others if I was insane myself? No way...
The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that my perception of those around me were correct. Hmmmm...quite a revelation...
My mind took me back over the years to places and people I had known from childhood, on...family, friends, teachers, neighbors etc...When I picked them apart, I realized that they too were all nuts; in some way, at least a little kooky.
Okay...so I know the term 'normal' can be subjective; therefore I chose to look objectively at the issue. My first thought was to check the dictionary for definition of the word 'sanity'...Here is what I learned:
(Sanity; soundness of mind)
Soundness of mind? Hmmmnnn...I wondered what constituted "soundness" so, of course I had to check out that word too in the ole Merrion Webster...Here's what I found.
Soundness; perfection; without flaw.
I was flabbergasted...my jaw dropped an inch or two...even I knew that I was not 'perfect...without flaw'...I was nuts too...just like everyone else...
Holy shit...What an ah-ha moment that was...a complete and true enigma...spontaneous enlightenment at its finest...
Check it out for yourself. If you ever doubted your sanity...you'll find out that you were right.
Listen...AngryMan is outta here, in more ways than one...See ya later.
Ciao

I ain't no Saint , I can only try to be Sane .
Never let any of the 52 in your head become ruler over al .
To be sane is like to make al 52 work as One .
Now hand me that straight jacket please ;-)
