I am sick, I am insane. You are normal

30th December 2022

If you think you are insane, you are normal. If you think you are normal, you are insane.

The majority of the population has at least one thing that deviates from the masses.

The majority is what makes normal “normal”.

So if you have never thought about yourself being insane, you are insane, and vice versa.

There is a Chinese Story that has no English translation, so I will use mine: Insane Fountain.

There is a fountain where if you drink the water from it, you go insane. There is a king that is so privileged that he need not the water from that fountain (or lake).

Then, everyone has gone insane.

BUT, since the definition of “normal” is what the majority is, they are now normal, and the king is insane.

Think about it, what is normal now can be completely absurd in the future.

In the same way how the majority of the rich and noblemen would own a slave throughout history, but after the revote of it in the European Nations and America, it is now seen as INSANE to even consider that.

The Quran even said slavery is okay (morally permissible, not applaudable).

However, since the majority thinks it is not okay, it is therefore insane to think so.

Same for rape, same for murder, or the less controversial — veganism…
