Well, as someone who's already a card-carrying member of the "crazy" people, certified by a U.S. Court, I have to say that you give the topic more consideration than your average bear. Upvoted & Resteemed.
Here are some of the other people I spent time with in the mental hospital:
*A Police Officer
Breaking down can happen to anyone, from any cross-section of the culture, for a variety of reasons - usually involving personal pain, loss, addiction, and/or abuse of various kinds. I lierally met thousands of different people in the State Hospital during my 13 & 1/2-year stay. Here are the statistics:
1/3 will get better, with the right medication - or without it
1/3 will sometimes do better than at other times, with the right meds
1/3 are not helped at all by any form of treatment
I was one of the lucky ones - medications & other behavioral therapy helped me to recover most of my former self.

Having gone through a period of being "crazy" myself, I came to the same conclusion you did:
glad you made it through.

perhaps "crazy" is suffering of Parkinsons disease..or beginnings?

If looking through the lens where anything and everything is related to Parkinson's, sure... but then you'd by default exclude all other info that is not...

This is a super appropriate post on the the eve of a full moon, in which the moon will be conjunct Pluto and Opposite the Sun and Mars and Square Jupiter (can I supersize that for you Planet) as well as Square Uranus (planet of sudden unexpected change.)
CRAZY-making, yes. Be safe, be sane, and think several times before acting.

I wrote an article yesterday about the Moon Ingress to Capricorn, if you want to check it out. And I am about ready to start one on this evening's full moon (in Capricorn). I hope that you enjoy it. Thank you for your work.

Absolutely hit the nail on the head. I mean, with the whole post, really, but these two sentences really resonated with me from my own experiences. Words have inredible power—more than many people even consider. As you're explaining, when you boil it all down to "crazy," you're just completely shutting down the process. Boom. End of story. Thinking over. It's partially laziness, and partially a coping mechanism, I think. To process it all would, perhaps, drive a person "crazy." ;)
It's unfortunate, though. Instead of spending a little extra time/energy to have your eyes OPENED, many people take this "cop-out" method and shut it all down. Imagine the world we'd live in if people were more conditioned to question things, dig deeper, and be a little uncomfortable for the sake of growth and knowledge.
Happy to have stumbled across your post. Following you and looking forward to reading more (and catching up on some of your old posts which look equally as intriguing as this one!)

And your feedback is appreciated.
And as you probably can already see, this concept of dumbening down through judgement applies much more broadly than just its focus into this particular topic of "crazy" - the dynamic is essentially the same with any judgement.
There are probably quite a few older posts of mine if scrolling back down my feed... I'm sure there may be a few titles in specific that jump out to grab your attention wherein may be found more of what shall satisfy the driving curiosities... ;-)

Hello, this was a great read!
When you say- "And rather than humbly admitting ignorance of the "why," the label "crazy" comes to the rescue to boost one's ego with some sense of control in being able to box this unknown into a familiar frame of reference that makes the reality of not knowing a little less uncomfortable" - This is exactly what happens when people talk about things such as conspiracy theories. That term has a negative connotation however it is merely their defence mechanism to this information which Is causing cognitive dissonance. Anything which they do not understand is rejected and grouped in the conspiracy schema society has so cleverly implanted.
However there is light at the end of the tunnel I think, which is morphic resonance. You should check out some of Rupert Sheldrake's works if you have not already, although you sound like someone who most certainly would already be aware of who he is.
When enough of us wake up, the collective consciousness will have no choice but to follow suite.

Thing about conspiracy theories - they're called theories for a reason. That realm has evolved into its own cult in low-theta, with its own cognitive biases distorting facts. Big topic.
I've heard of Sheldrake but haven't gone into too much of his material yet - putting it on the "Watch Later" list... :-)

I think I miss communicated my point a little, so ANYTHING that challenges peoples current beliefs gets automatically hurdled into the conspiracy theory group/schema, when there can be quite substantial evidence meaning it is not a theory. But if it does not fit their beliefs out comes conspiracy theory allegations which is some kind of cover blanket for anything at all that causes any kind of cognitive dissonance.
One recent example I was out with a friend and I whipped out my organic sun cream, with being a red-head I'm virtually allergic to the sun. She couldn't get her head around why I had organic sun cream, so I told her a little bit about the toxins in regular sun cream, and how some of them are carcinogenic, and are literally being cooked into your skin under the sun, it's just something id rather avoid. This isn't a theory, anyone can grab a bottle of sun cream and research the ingredients. She immediately responded with "ohhh that's just a conspiracy!".
But yes I totally hear you there's definitely a flip side, almost cult like movement going on too in the ACTUAL conspiracy theory realm.
I am surprised someone writing content like this hasn't delved into Sheldrake, I honestly think you'd really like a lot of it. Because clearly after reading one post I'm qualified to say such things! Ha!
Anyway looking forward to seeing your future posts, this is the kind of content ill probably engage with a lot. So sorry in advance if I really annoy you. :)

Great post. It always bothered me when people called others 'crazy' because what you're saying is so true.....they are not ultimately understanding the other person. There's a lot more going on there and saying the person is 'crazy' is just an easy, lazy way of labeling someone in an attempt to quickly make sense of them and the world.
I personally never just look at anyone and think to myself they are crazy. I always try to look deeper and understand what might be happening with them. Humans are super complex and likely ultimately unknowable...or at least some parts are, but it's certainly worth the effort to try to understand others, and ourselves better. This will help to make for a better world.

It's sad but you're right. Personally I have always preferred truth and justice to leave it to a more complicated path.

You are so right. I'm glad you brought this up. Calling someone crazy is dismissive and destroys the ability to effectively communicate. I try not to use it except for the actual crazy people, lol. I also think people you genius too often too, but it doesn't have the same negative effects.
Great post. This is the first I've seen from you and you got a new follower!
