Blacksword:
I find it bewildering that most of us seem to maintain a level of functioning sanity, with all the pressures on us to 'be this' and 'do that' and 'think this' For me personally, I could consider it a significant achievement, that I have held it together for 43 years, without harming myself or someone else. I'm pretty thin skinned and over sensitive. I find the world around me quite frightening and threatening. '


I agree with this... I personally have 'flashes' of irrational anger/frustration bordering on psychopathy... But I quickly revert to my normal rational/mildly empathetic self... I'm not very compassionate in active way but i try to tolerate all the screeching, walking glands around me(working class men of the younger generation are intolerable-but almost any form of mass media makes me feel sick to my stomach-the banality/vulgarity is even more infuriating)... When I was younger my emotions were much more easily concealed to myself.  Now I find the neuroses more obvious and close to being expressed.  But I maintain... 'the dude abides' or something similar.

As Sartre said-'hell is other people'... but we can still find amusement and even joy in others with a momentary reflection(not making an allowance for propaganda/m.media-that is soul destroying)
we only know that we do not know

Nobody really knows why we're here, and that's what really drives us all crazy.  We can shelve it for a while, but that doubt is always there.

I understand the argument "if everybody's crazy, then nobody's crazy", but I'm going to go ahead and call it crazy anyway. Because I'm crazy.

Having encountered a handful of genuinely mentally disturbed individuals over the course of my life, in all seriousness, it's all relative.

Do I think people are crazy? No
Do I think people are scared? Terribly

One of the great disease of our time.

"Kids today - they're all the same
All call themselves - some crazy name
All those drugs - they can't be sane
All that noise - affects their brains.

And it's such a crime
How they waste their time
They can't get nowwhere
They've all gone Beat Crazy
Beat Crazy." - Joe Jackson

Boxxy needs to lay off the meth, or whatever scripts her folks have her on...

 i used to work with a guy named boxe from thailand and he was f+ck1ng insane... he used to eat intestines(chitlins) in front of me while i was trying to criticize his work(he was a concrete finisher/repairman-taught me a lot!)... it was a constant mind game... then he would sexually harass us-try to 'take us' from behind... that guy was a devil, i tell ya

It would be interesting to do a "Are people basically stupid?" poll and see what answer you get. Maybe another time.
