Madness

I don't think there is or there should be anything call madness. No one is mad. The madness is, there is a helluva thing called NORMAL we all can't fit in.


So... If you try to be normal you are going mad and if you are being mad it's you trying to be your normal.

I think I confused mad and the normal equally enough.

No, that was a MORMAL thought when the world is going mad, Usha.

Or..is it the other way round? laugh
Hey sweet lady wave

Majority is normal and minority is abnormal. Its always been the case. sad flower
With the reversed roles, actors are the same.

"Normal" is the Prevailing Psychosis in any given time & place."

True That!!
I've been in some times & places where Normal = Really whacked out, lemme tell y'all crazy

I, of course, didn't "fit into" those times & places -- bein' an un-prevalent sort of psychotic, y'all understand.

I´m mad about Ushasmitten smitten
Usha ~ it is said 'madness' is the ultimate coping skill/survival mechanism when life becomes unbearable.
We live in a mad insane world and those who are sensitive and who find it hard to live in noise and speed and perhaps danger [depending on if it is a busy city or a dangerous rural area ] many can't cope because of the break down in order and in community.

These people are not mad to me, they just show symptoms of anxiety and depression and don't fit in and react like most other animals.
Take care Usha. bouquet
Hey Usha,
And now one gets the 'New Normal' Apparently its turned 'mad' into 'crazy'

It's difficult to compare the two because being Mad has a few meanings, most are ok, even endearing.

Normal means Typical.

So you would have to say what kind of Mad you were referring to as in, Insane, Angry, or Crazily Funny.

By Normal do you mean Sane, or Nice, Good, Happy, etc. or Not Insane?

Not to mention Madly in Love! laugh
You’re all too complex for me.
Not that that’s a bad thing.
The art of complexity is the reduction to simplicity, so that all can understand.

Hi Usha,
While the rest of the world falls apart I'm getting to watch Mom turn into the strongest person I know in her frail 75 pound body. How she is keeping it together while Dad goes from care center to hospital, gets hip replaced and eventually back to care center in quarentine without out her once getting to see him. She who has lived by his side for the last 60 years - It's a MADDDD world but my Momma has the strength of a super hero at least in front of all us old kids. heart wings

I hope every one is safe out there. Neighbor just called to say the news says masks are mandatory today. I'm not sure what all that means yet. Do we have to wear them while driving? If I wear a mask, my glasses fog up and then I will crash.
Hello Ms. Usha,

Is it possible, they have attempted to keep us in a fenced in area called "normal" to better maintain control?

The emotional roller-coaster humans go through in life has many names.
Madness is one of them.

People fall through the spectrum of normal and abnormal. It is call life. banana
Something further to ponder...maybe with new fences, you get new norms. dunno
Johnny, don't ponder too much.

Fences and Norms. Names and Forms. All in the head. There is nothing if you can get rid of it all.

Am I confusing you more ?

If yes, that was the plan.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
AI, love your new pic. bouquet

You are trying to confuse me right? laugh
Good job Usha....success. You even confused me more than I confused myself. laugh

Glad to see you up and still kicking. grin
Iotaoo, hug

I am good. How are you and things going with your daughters?

I think you know Jata sutta. Anto jata, bahi jata. The tangle within and tangle outside. It's all a tangle. Madness is the order. laugh
We are returning to normalcy Johnny. Now I am wondering what is this normalcy. It's madness. I was getting used to lockdown. It was quite nice staying home.

I am always live and kicking. But when I stop to think, I go mad. laugh
Tim, good to see you around. bouquet

I think you are as mad as I am. tongue but good madness. grin
Okay Mic. You made my life easy.

Everyone is mad. Agree, if that equals to everyone is normal. laugh
Gg, although I posted the blog in a lighthearted manner, I was studying the mind according to Buddhists.

There can't be madness. Usual self and unusual self is a better way . I think. But then what is usual. Our usual selves are influenced by society and it's norms. Our thoughts and actions are influenced by other people more than ever. We witnessed this with BLM protests.

It's a deep topic. But I don't like being serious here.laugh

Hope you are doing good. bouquet
Luke, I know what you mean. I think.

The confusion, the turmoil, the lack of proper insight. It's all crazy. I look at everything what is happening and ask, whaaaaat? We are supposed to be the only evolving species on earth. doh
Doesdare, wave

Thank you very much for your comment. But please excuse my blunder as English is not my first language.

I like to learn the differences between insanity, crazy and mad.

If normal is typical, then typical of what?

Madly in love...I think if one has to feel mad to love, that's madness, not love. laugh
Wrinkly, bouquet

Complex and simplicity. Those two words are good pointers when understanding madness. laugh

But nothing is simple in complexity. laugh

Okay, I will cillax. grin
Fay, I think it is good you are enjoying the undying love and all the smiles that comes with it. Your parents are a testimony of love, and lasting love.

My love and prayers for them and you, lovely lady.

Wear a mask only in crowded places. But it is not healthy to wear it for long, I heard. Stay safe, stay blessed. bouquet
Agree with you Lafonda.

Not all can unsee the roller coaster, madness and
normal and see life. laugh
Daughters doing fairly well...thanks for the concerns
...
But people didn't keep their promise...do you get what I saidwink
Hi Usha,
Methinks normal and mad are just terms to describe a way of thinking. The only reason why the mad are kept in asylums is because they are less than us. If they were in the majority, we would have been kept in asylums.professor
laugh wave
Going mad roll eyes

Are you sure we're not already there Usha conversing

Turning into this year, a new decade, I though 2020 had a ring of significance about it in some sort of way confused as the year would unfold, that telling would be told....the year so far as it see it.

First we were all saving the planet, pollution, global warming, climate change uncertain

Next minute Covid had us ALL on the same page, pulling together saving each other instead applause

These days I can't even begin to explain the madness of it all doh
So far to- date, 2020 is the year for trends, or craze" as others may say.

Next time you check in, there may very well be another trend up and running dancing
hopefully, it will be more peaceful as this now one.
