Sanity.

What is it in the first place?

san-i-ty: the condition of having a healthy mind : the condition of being sane

What is considered a healthy mind?

Is a healthy mind just a brain that functions a human to live?

Or is a healthy mind a brain that can process social ques and propriety?

And if it is the later, who is to say what is socially acceptable?

What if someone said it was socially acceptable to wear shoes that look like fish?

Would you do it?

Or would you want to continue wearing tan loafers and have others make fun of you and say your mad?

What if a man likes to write very creative stories about evil queens and pastries that change your size, but the world says hes crazy for writing about such mad notions when he could be writing about government and grammar?

Well I'm sure Lewis Carroll thought the same thing.

Who is to say what is sane?

Whoever said that looking at the moon too long would make you insane?

Because I stare at the moon in awe quite frequently.

Whoever said that is the mad one.

They are missing out on the beautiful glow the moon provides.

You raging lunatic,
Charles Darnell
