You are probably wondering why anyone will make conscious efforts to become insane
Let me break it down
Lately, I had been so preoccupied with work and life, that I was beginning to lose touch with certain things I did quite well before.
I rarely write anymore, have fun conversations, or reply texts from friends and family.
All I do is work, sleep and get caught up with a few church activities to keep my mind balanced.
Honestly, I was beginning to lose my mind.
And then I took a few steps back and questioned the human existence.
This occurred to me:
“Our existence was never built on being normal”.
We were all excited to start basic school but towards the end we became eager to get into high school, hoping it will be easier.
Alas, we were taught how to process more information at every new stage.
More courses, more people, more responsibilities, slowly we had to find a place to store the information gathered at every stage of our lives.
We are built to go extra.
Think about the thoughts that go through your mind every minute; the ones we suppress and the ones we express.
It is a constant mind job mixed with physical actions and emotions.
Trust me I figured why I was drowning.
After all the analysis I came to the conclusion that being normal was actually being insane.
Life was meant to lose balance. You had to keep switching. You had to upgrade your understanding.
Your personality could not afford to lose its originality and so you had to take in a lot of information, filter it and blend it to who you are.
Isn’t that insane!!!!!!!
Normal isn’t a word, it’s a balance.
We are wired and conditioned to be different.
The way we process daily information and apply it to our personality can never be the same.
There is no normal, there will never be normal.
Our world isn’t built for normal.
We are all struggling to be mad.
But how MAD can you be?
