Insanely Sane- Serene Words

How does it feel to be insane? To be breathing insanity and to be living insanely? Is being termed as ‘ insane’ making you intimidated? It’s coming from someone who is insane enough to address it. There are not enough forms of this particular word to fit in a conversation, which makes it less complicated. To understand what insanity is, the simplest of the simple definition will tell one; the state of not being sane. And here, ‘sane’ itself is a term of contradictions. Sensible, understanding, practical, realistic and wise, all of these can help contemplate the idea of sanity. Do these terms defining a sane individual come with credibility, though? Does this give us any ‘fact’ of what it actually means to be enough to be sane, rather than presumptions of what one should be. And what is ‘enough’? If one is more understanding than the other then should it mean one is more sane than the other? Because if that is it, one is insane if one is less than the other with whomever they are being compared to. And comparison is a basic trait in human survival, one lives to surpass the other. So it goes, no one here is sane. And here it is, the entire idea of sanity based upon the moral values that were set for humans by humans to be more of humans and not merely creatures. And morality itself exists with contradictions. Sadly, creatures were born to be humans but later. They weren’t born to some moral values or rules, they were grown up to realize, ‘oh these exist’. And here it is, the entire idea of morality based upon existence. And existence itself being contradictory, to be or not to be, if it’s being then what?, if it’s not then how? So how come sanity is a clear concept at all? Here it lies, the entire idea of sanity being a contradiction itself. You believe you are sane, but are you sane enough? The insanity in you is unaddressed and unaddressed doesn’t necessarily mean unexisting, it’s being ignored. And how sane are you to ignore what resides in you? You try to save your sanity by making insane decisions and yet you call yourself a sane being. So what are you, are you sanely, sufficient enough to be called a creature of sanity? Or are you insanely embarrassed, insanely guilty, insanely determined to be sane? Insanely deliberate to live upto things, insanely cruel, insanely blissful, insanely exquisite, insanely mad or are you insanely sane? So tell me, how does it feel to be insane? To be breathing insanity and to be living insanely?
