In order to understand the concept of god,does one have to be holy?
In order to understand humanity does one have to be human?
these questions have been tormenting me for as long as I could remember,is it possible to understand something that youre an outsider to?
I have always considered myself an outsider,and I have been treated as one,as if humans can smell something on you that makes your self appointed outcast status obvious.I dont regret my decision,but when I was making it these questions came to my mind.
Will I alienate myself from the things I wish to understand by striving to be different?
So in the end my choice becomes remain happy as an outsider but risk losing the knowledge I seek,or reenter the pack and risk losing myself...
But that aside,I am happy being n outsider,its because Im not alone,I have found a few people who either by choice or nature have outcasted themselves from the flow of human thought.And we can identify each other.Its uncanny,this ability,but its comforting to know that being different doesnt mean being alone.
Alot of these people I have met here on LJ but in real life my entire LIFE is composed of these people.You guys know who you are.And they have been the source of my strngth and my place of comfort during the storm.We share a similar insanity,a way of seeing life that others miss out on,a combination of sillyness and surreality. Like giant platypusi replacing cars.
But i guess thats where it all starts,perception.Where others see one thing,I see another,its just a different way of looking at things.Daily I thank whatever glitch of genetics made me turn out this way.That and an overabundace of time to think has lead me to become the person I am today,gloriously weird and happy to soak in my own juices.
But in the end I think,I would like to remain like this for the rest of my days,sanity is for the mundane people of the world,I prefer to remain in a state of constant insanity.Till the day I pass from this world and into the next.
Amen.
