If madness is the brother of genius...

[Erana]

Then is insanity worth enlightenment?
Just a matter of personal opinion, I guess...

 

[bodyklok]

If your insane can you really appreciate enlightenment anyway?

But enlightenment would ultimately mean sacrificing all things that define humanity. That includes the notion of "appreciation."

 

[Omnidum]

Sounds just about right.

 

[Booze Zombie]

If you're insane, I do imagine you don't really care about enlightenment. Which probably means you've obtained it.

Why? Anyway wouldn't that also mean you would transcend 'Insanity' as well?

Its a matter of appearances, really.
But why do we so greatly fear insanity, then?

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Pretty much everyone is not sane to some degree but some people are well known enough that other people actually pretend to care.

Sanity is the brother of retardation?

I do not fear insanity, that would be like fearing myself. But anyway that aside I suppose most people are just afraid of insane people rather than the idea of insanity it's self.

Like, for example, what time it is.

Surely I must be the sanest person here, for I have not understood a word you have said.

If I recall correctly, time speeds up when matter approaches the speed of light...

Or is it the other way around?

I delved into a life of insanity for 8 months, I pulled myself out of it thankfully.
My capabilities to experience and learn from things has since grown expotentionally over the last 6 years.

My diagnosis was a psychosis panic disorder, with seperations from preceived reality.
One sinlge sentence describes the thought pattern, but i never utter it in public, lest i set someone else off.

sanity = S
Retardation (slowness) = r
````````````T

Its tautology.

AKA: what you said has a literal interpretation that applies here.
