If in madness lies that which you search for, will you go for it?

Staying within the boundaries of that which society calls sane may not be living up to your potential. How can you realize yourself and your life's price when you watch your own every move afraid to be seen by others as different, crazy or evil? Do you believe in what you're told or do you think for yourself? And when you know what you want do you dare to let it manifest?

I'm labeled a schizophrenic. A crazy person. Yet what I see in my mind today is so much more true, closer to heart, revolutionairy, evolved and productive than the thoughts I had when I was still considered sane. Sure sometimes my mind can really torment me, and some thoughts I really wish I could kill dead, but i've found that as long as I stay in control the thoughts are not dangerous. I reach new understanding and have visions that I value.

There are ups and downs to insanity. You can loose yourself completely and never find your way back. You can think things that make you want to kill yourself. But you can also see past the norms and find a vast universe abundant with knowledge and all that you long for and things you didn't even know you wanted. The only thing being normal is good for is making a life for yourself that is normal. Working a normal job that pays enough for you to do normal things. If what you want is not normal but vast riches, self-realization and happiness you need to think for yourself, and do what you need to do to aquire those things.

People judge what is different from themselves. Free thinking individuals scare indoctrinated and conservative individuals. People will go to extremes to protect their little bubble of correctness and safety. If they see in you something that scares them they will lock you up, sedate you and try to make you comform. So if you want to flirt with madness, the unknown and realize more of yourself keep it to yourself. Let the sheep be sheep. It feels kind of good when you encounter a religious or stupid person and see how much further you've come than them. Do what you desire, grow and know that if you have to you can always pretend.
