"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"- Albert Einstein. I chose this title because I believe that as humans, we are all prone to make mistakes. But as analytical, creative and generally conscientious creatures, we tend to strive toward an idealistic existence. Often, we fail because there is no stability unless we balance both order and chaos (from Cherokee cosmology). To lean towards either would be like spinning a wheel, disrupting the present. Because of our desire to get our hands dirty, humans are innately insane.
Insanity is when scientists test something dozens and hundreds of time using the same method, waiting for a breakthrough, dispelling myths. Insanity is genius
Insanity is when a person runs back to the person that abuses them time and time again, hoping things will work out, believing that people change for the better. Insanity is love.
Insanity is paint thrown layers upon layers, colors upon colors onto a blank wall to be preserved and seen from all different perspectives. Insanity is art.
This is a great title, and I like the way you pull together all of the possible thread of insanity. You are right that there is something to be said for the balance of order and chaos as it relates to the ways we think about behaviors whether in science or love.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea that Hedge Coke is being rebellious against her mother. I know that if someone would treat me pretty poorly I too would rebel in some form to give them a taste of what its like. However, I would not over do it. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, finally......I thought I was the only one insane. But technically, would you classify running around in your undies and yelling at random people crazy?? That is normal, right?
ReplyDeleteI love your insanity blog, honestly, I completely agree. I mean what is sane? I think we all are insane, meaning, nobody is "normal," or perfect. We all are slightly eccentric? I especially like what you wrote about insanity being love, I can certainly connect with this statement.
ReplyDeleteI agree with love.skull...your blog is pretty cool for being human, we are imperfect and can be susceptible to what we be dubbed "insane" actions once or more in our lives.
