I wonder if their gods predicted my devastation.
It's fairly predictable from my perspective. 10 times per year, the tornado rolls in and kills countless citizens of three neighboring towns of Anthill, Antville and Antopolis. And every time, the town is rebuilt and ready for the next "natural" disaster.
The definition of crazy is "mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild, aggressive way".
Insanity is defined as "extremely foolish; irrational or illogical".
By definition, I'm not crazy, but it looks like I'm insane.
Illogical is a series of steps that no one has yet defined as being real.
But someone has to be first.
Someone has to be illogical in thought before logic can be accepted.
Most un-normal behaviours start out as unacceptable until there's a tipping point.
That tipping point is about 16%.
Once 16% of a population accept a behaviour as being acceptable, then it is no longer considered wrong, illogical or insane.
But if you're alone in thought, opinion or theory, without 16% of the people in agreement, then you're insane.
Just like me.
Tattoos were taboo until 15 year old girls started inking cute butterflies on their ankles and 40 year old men started getting sleeves to show how bad-ass they were.
Nose rings, thongs, mohawks, thoughts, opinions are now readily accepted as you celebrate individualism, self expression, and personal freedom.
Everything is illogical until it is proven to be.
Everything is weird until is accepted to be normal.
Everything is off, until 16% of the population accepts it to be ok.
Time might not be linear.
Life might not be what you think it is.
What if your world does not end in death?
What if your life is nothing more than death, while you wait to live?
Perspective is as magical for us as it is for the dirt building colonists in our backyards.
I'm insane in the membrane...
