Preface: The following took place at two in the morning as I was changing my facebook status. I thought it was 2099 words but it was only 2099 characters long.
Status update:
I'm just beginning to realize how incredibly sane I am. I know crazy people, and some of them really scare me. You could say I have a paranoia of insanity, and that either makes me totally sane, as I've stated before, or a complete madman. I like to believe that our paranoias guard us from completely exposing the little madmen inside us. So... then fear is our friend; fear is what keeps us safe, and fear is what makes us like everyone else, so that we don't have to be afraid of being different. Because when we are different, we fear being ridiculed by the people that are subjects of fear tactics who are perceived as normal or sane human beings. So, there is a great circle of of fear and normal people trying desperately to be perceived as sane. I'm afraid of those people and all geographic clusters of sanity. There are many clusters that we can join, and we usually join the one where we have to change the least. These clusters roll around the earth all the time. They impact one another and create fragments of dust that will no longer be part of any cluster because they are marked as unfit or crazy. But the dust is the key. It has seen many clusters at the point of impact! In fact, it was once part of a cluster! But the impact helped it to crack off and fall to the earth where it will be rolled over and over again by the clusters of fear and sanity. What's going to happen is that eventually the clusters will break of into nothing and everyone will be dirt. Unfortunately, clusters will form again, but fortunately they will be formed by those first flakes of dust that had to break away. The once thought of as insane will one day rule or invent, and that's how it's been forever. So many insane people, for their time, have changed history because of their supposed insanities. Insanity is often mistaken for inventiveness and free-thinkery.----- wow, I'll stop. It's late, and it's the longest status update ever... and it probably won't make sense to me in the morning... all I'm trying to say is dare to be different, and control your own destiny, and people will follow you.Appendix:
Well, it's funny that I start my status reassuring the reader and myself that I'm not crazy, and I really don't think I am. The main point I was trying to make with that phrase wasn't addressed, there is a thin line between crazy and eccentric. I like to think I'm on the side of eccentric inventiveness. From my viewpoint I see actual crazy people... those people usually present fragments of ideas without relativity. For example let's say that you're sitting at dinner with an insane friend, and without any prompt at all, that you know of, he says "she is such a sweetheart," and you say "excuse me, who?" and then he says a girl that he met at the gym, and you say "we've never gone to the gym together" and then he says she's a sweet girl. Then you say, "well, why don't you talk to her?" and he starts talking to the empty space beside you as if he were talking to the girl. This is an extreme example, but it illustrates that there is no genius there. There are only random electronic pulses in their brain firing off abnormally. The key to being a genius is to be able the think of ideas in the abstract but with continuity and a general story web. You can think of things differently but there has to be relativity to references points and human interaction.
Anywho, I've got to go to work.
