my mind has wandered from the flock you see."
-oingo boingo, "insanity"
lately i have become strangely interested in insanity, or "psychopathology".
i have no idea at all what has brought this interest on, maybe it is drood that it is causing the interest, but i think it has been on my mind longer.
i mentioned two blogs ago that various famed, and extremely intelligent, people have been eccentric. and often times have been recorded (historically) as being somewhat outside of the social norm of the time (or of anytime).
what interests me is the defining qualities of insanity, or just what being insane means.
day-to-day it is something i feel i want to experience on some level. that sounds in-itself somewhat insane, but really, when looking at those geniuses of the human species one has to wonder if there is true insanity.
i look at it in a way that leads me to believe that some people, those who are not violently insane, see things with more understanding.
it's why i believe many musicians, authors, and artists, have found clairvoyance (of sorts) in drugs... the substances create a short-term insanity.
a way to see beyond what is considered the "norm".
