Consider the following:

There is a man in a mental hospital.

He is insane. (The context of insanity in this sense is mostly the same as criminal law. That is to say that this man being insane is that his thoughts, judgements, and reasoning deviate from others, and he can not differentiate between right/wrong, and normal/abnormal. Thus, he is insane.)

To become sane, this man must admit he is insane, right?

By admitting he is insane, he is acknowledging his differences and is assimilating normal schemas and perspectives into his own and is thus able to differentiate right/wrong, normal/abnormal.
If one is insane because they feel their thoughts to be right when they are not(in context to normal situations/people), then one would be sane when they think on the same level/way as most people do, or as the culture dictates.

Therefore, by admitting he is insane, he is now sane.

So, to become sane, this man must admit insanity.

To be sane, he must be insane.

I hope you all understand the implications of the above scenario. I love the inability of the english language to convey all thoughts and emotions. Thus is the origin of humor, the fixing or correcting of prior-held thoughts and perceptions with new, confronting situations.


You should all find this entry to be dangerously funny.
