Raine Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Let's talk about insanity. Because we all know being utterly mad just means your creative and motivated, while the only downside is being constantly under surveillance by the Neighborhood Watch Committee and after long enough a padded cell... well, until the internet was invented. TALK ABOUT COMPLETE LUNACY! (More non-linear thought and actions rather then medically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDDRodrigo Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Shard is contantly complaining at his panic complex. Insanity?

Raine Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Albert Einstein said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". That seems to match your motorcycle (with you play card games on, I assume) situation. I felt the same thing about normal bikes when I broke my arm when I was 12. 4 months later, I broke it again... on rollar blades. So now I ride my bike.[quote name='CM Renji' timestamp='1331771579' post='5870931'] in·san·i·ty(noun) Definition: [img]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/uploads/profile/photo-thumb-145730.png[/img] [/quote] Awww, Renji, you flatter yourself. ...I still think it's hot.

Zyzzyzus Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Insanity would mean irrationality. Most people who consider themselves sane probably do not do so based on this definition, and some people who believe themselves insane are in fact, more sane than others. Insane has basically become a label for anything not widely accepted in society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] "Mental disorder" and "mental sickness" are very vague terms. What exactly is "mental wellbeing", and who or what determines what constitutes as a "mental disorder"? I wouldn't put too much weight on these terms, as they are judged differently from person to person. Rationality, on the other hand, is judged internally. It's the correlation between action and the reasons behind those actions. Someone who acts without reason should be considered insane, but they need not be judged by others to have a "mental sickness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
