i'm going to tell you a story....

a powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank. Whoever drank that water would go mad.

The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king ad his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The police and inspectors, however, has also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king's decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them.

When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they were convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdiction.

In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stoped him, saying:" let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them."

And thats what they did: The king and queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to coninue ruling the country?

The country continues to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.....

What is insanity? Are those staying in the mental hospital the insane ones? or are we the insane ones? Just because we think similarly (thru socialization).....just because we act the same way? we are normal and sane?

insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything thats going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you dun understand the language they speak there....
