Define "Sanity"!
I believe the first step in finding something is knowing and understanding exactly what it is you're looking for. In order to know or find sanity, one needs to know what it means to them. What exactly is sanity to you and what does it mean to be sane?
The ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner; sound mental health.
Which is defined by societal norms.
So if I think Society has become irrational and insane then it really means I lost my sanity. Following me?
Yes I follow you, but I disagree! Your ability to see Society becoming irrational and insane proves that you are still in fact "sane"
If you were to follow suit, and do as others do... then perhaps you would have lost your sanity. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Are you acting the same as everyone because it's the society norm, or are you questioning what's going on with the desire to do things differently?
See you proved my point. You are a sane rational person and I don't understand your definition or rational so you see, I haven't found mine yet.
Well just keep doing what you're doing then and you'll eventually get there. Sometimes you have to be what you're not in order to find what you are.
Although I still think you got it, or else you wouldn't be wondering... insane people don't think there's anything wrong with them, lol.
Maybe it's like love... you don't find it by searching for it. It finds you or just happens.
Good post btw.... I imagine most people have wondered about this at one time or another in their life time... I certainly have and in the last couple weeks I have wondered if I will end up losing mine before my job finishes in November.
If however it came to choosing to loose my sanity or my job... I'd drop the job in a heartbeat. Letting my sanity go would ultimately result in losing the job, so getting rid of the job first would ensure that I would still have my sanity which will be needed for the next job and to feel good about myself.
