The Crazy People.
We think of "sane" and "insane" as mutually exclusive, but mounting evidence brings me always closer to the uncomfortable conclusion that sanity seems, most often, dependent upon the circumstances and the subjects being considered.

People (myself included) will not deal with their past pain, history or the root causes of their emotional psychotic uncontrollable breakdowns - and there is no one who will help them through the breakdown, and no one will give them love, compassion and understanding, which is what we ALL need.
How many of us have painful experiences that we keep trying to hide (even from ourselves)? How many of us are afraid to look at what has happened to us so that we can become better people and help others? When you need love and support who did you turn to? In the past two years, I have looked at my own reaction patterns, and broken more addictions and dealt with more emotional pain from my past than I even knew I had. I'm no where close to being done, but I'm no longer willing to be afraid of what I don't know. Being insane is not dealing with your demons. That makes everyone in this world insane.
As for what scares me? Try being married to someone with multiple personalities. I get scared when I don't know if I am going to wake up next to my husband or next to my wife.
