Crazy is as crazy does.
I don't even know what that means. I'm just trying to be cool and say smart stuff. But once one realizes they are neither cool, nor smart, they are resigned to the acceptance of normalcy or insanity.
Which are you?
Maybe you disagree. Maybe you're just "humble."
Insanity is such a broad arbitrary diagnosis.
What makes one insane? Is typing one's meaningless thoughts into an electronic contraption that records them for the future worthy of an inanity diagnosis?
What about pooping in the woods and then covering it up with leaves hoping a wild animal confuses it for buried treasure?
When I was younger I use to throw apple cores over the house into the woods that were behind my house. I would watch various animals eat the apple remains from my window. I wonder if these animals ever stopped to think where this food was coming from?
Decades passed and I returned to the house and discovered a thriving "wild" apple orchard now existed where I use to chunk the apple cores.
It made me think about Plato's Cave.
Anytime I think about allegories I always come back to the perception of truth.
I can't help but wonder how the owner of that wooded land thinks this thriving apple orchard came to be.
Or where the animals who ate the cores daily for years thought this delicious food source originated.
Before you say, "hey, wait just a minute, we are humans and we have the ability to reason, and squirrels, birds and bugs don't so your point is moot," keep in mind that many consider humans to just be naked apes.
I remember one time a flea-infested cat showed up on my porch and I fed it. Did I do a good thing, or prolong it's misery?
If naked apes are animals with the ability to reason, why do you we ask questions that we already know the answers to?
Aren't rhetorical questions a form of schizophrenia?
Furthermore, why do people ask questions that they know the answers to and expect you to lie to them so the "truth" doesn't hurt their feelings.
The only thing weirder than that is this blog post.
