I tend to think that those "mentally insane" people who are held in asylums are the people who have awoken to the "real" life. They can see what is really happening under the frostings of life, and that's why they're so scared, so much so that they lose their minds [if lost is even the right word]. Their eyes have opened to the reality of it all and I think that even if what they're seeing might be beautiful, it would be horrific, because it'd be the unknown. They don't know how to cope with it, just like any other person would be befuddled faced with something so alien.
That makes me think, why can't I wake up? Why can't I seem to help them? Why do they scare us so much, if at all? Do I want to wake up if I know I'll turn out the same? Will I turn out the same?
I think they make us uneasy because they know something we don't, and we're scared of that. Maybe the people who study the patients slowly become "insane" because they realize what the patients are seeing and talking about. They learn through the eyes of their patients, and they can't help to understand eventually...
I don't know, these are my thoughts. Post your opinions of what you think.

I believed that the happiest people actually belonged in the asylum itself, through the act of 'creating their own world'. But we, as average-thinking humans could not comprehend such a world out of the norm that we lived in, hence the ignorance, and what we don't know eventually turns to fear.
That's just my two cents anyway.
Thanks for leaving your comment in my blog. Cheers.
Hey! I actually think that thee are a few very "insane" people who don't know how to handle the truth they find...ignorance is bliss maybe. Thanks for reading the blog :) it really depends what kind of design you want to do. i tried it in New York, and it just wasn't the same level of knowledge. I was lucky enough to recently get the means to travel but it's been a dream for many many many years now.

for me, i try to stop myself when i start wondering such silly things. why bother if you're never gonna really find out? and if it happens to you, it happens. you find out how it is then, and just deal with it. ya know? i guess you can say i'm simple minded...but i kind of like keeping it simple. keepin it real ;) stay in the present :) - yo sista
You know, Ive often thought on this subject as well, and come to the same conclusion. The "insane" people, IMO, do seem to understand, to see, to sometimes hear, things that we [we=normal society] dont. Ive actually, well, performed I guess, some form of a scientific analysis on myself to see if this theory holds, and it does seem to hold true. I can see things others dont, hear things they cant, and seem to have a better understanding of a lot of things than the majority of people. You seem to, too! :D
In my experience...waking up is a slow process. It isnt just a "wake up one day and youre that different". It takes time, and youre slowly awakening yourself as I type here. Waking up versus knowing you wont be the same in the end? Well. Heres the answer: You will not the same in the end if/when you wake up. You will be different. By how much? That is the question. Negligible? Maybe. Catastrophic? Maybe. Who knows?
People are scared of knowledge. Why would they be afraid of God otherwise? Why would they be afraid of things they dont know about? Aliens, monsters, vampires, zombies, etc.? People are afraid of the unknown inherently. This is unfortunate for the majority of people, as if they go insane, they oft times (IMO, again) scare themselves to death. And the people who study them cant help but start to understand what theyre going through. Theyll end up the same way, unless they learn to cope with it--which doesnt often happen.
Well, you asked our thoughts, there they be! Keep up the tendril growth, its fun :D
