Thoughts of Insanity

As I sit and ponder about the purpose of this life thousands of thoughts flood my mind. Questions of right and wrong are debated back and forth; back and forth. The question of insanity creeps up. Making its presence ever so clear, my mind struggles to rationalize its being. Am I or am I not? Are these outlandish made up thoughts from single pieces of information stored over time, being collected and jumbled together to make what seems to be a critical thought; outrageous or righteous? That very question haunts and still haunts me. Creating dreams so vivid, so life-like; reality and imagination become one. Leaving me stuck in this thought it is all an illusion, or perhaps a test of who can keep sane the longest.  But as one steps back and re-exams this life holistically, one is presented with the question, why? Why is all of this necessary? We have the potential to be great. Too live in a world of peace and love. Yet, you would never think that concept of living is possible but I am here to tell you it is. Many struggle with the notion is “impossible” something actually factual. One can argue all things are possible therefore nothing is impossible, as well, another could argue all things are not possible therefore something is impossible. But is that not an excuse of a limitation to mankind. We believe we are the superior being of all. Yet, some doubt their ability to be innovative and obtain self-actualization. Why? Is it because so few have led the way? Because those few have thought and talked for so many for so long leaving many, not knowingly, to follow blindly with no mind. Causing a static advancement of the very thing that makes us. But this problem is not encountered by all. Is it a reality that this will ever happen? Most would say no, some would say yes. Sadly I am becoming one that would say no. This is what leaves me torn between my mind and my heart. One thinks logically as one is told to do so. The other thinks irrationally with feelings driving the irrationality. But looking back, as one should always do, at the beginning of these scrupulous words I’ve learned there is a time and a place for man’s logic. Moreover, it is a time and place for irrational thinking. It’s your choice to decide which is needed at the time. Who’s to say which is right and which is wrong? Who’s to say any thought is insane?
