Mad Mad World

Its a mad mad world out there.

To be a part of it , you have to be mad as well.We all live in our own reality bubbles.We all suffer from tunnel vision where we see the closest approximation of our own realities.It is not the eyes that see lies but the mind's eye that conjures fantasies.

Its a mad mad world out there.

To function, you have to be insane to a degree as well.

I don't agree with the 'Fake it till you make it' dogma.This new age philosotainment is nothing but wishful thinking...where we are willingly hallucinating .Suppose you are a soldier stationed in Iraq (pronounced Eye-rack by yankees worldwide), and you have a deep gash across your chest thanks to an exploding shell, then thinking that you have no gash will not stop you from dying.Miracle stories abound everywhere tell you otherwise...but somewhere down the line you know that they are lying, that they have lied by omission or distortion.

Everything in this world is distorted by our perceptions.

Its a mad mad world out there and Its a crime not be mad as well.

(To all loners.)

You see the madness as it is.Which is why you choose to distance yourself.But that is madness too.Sometimes you don't understand it.The madness and the general blindness and the conspiratorial complicity bewilder you.

Here is a possible solution.

Immerse yourslef in the madness, if for no other reason but to simply understand it.Don't worry.You will retain your objectivity,You will retain your unfiltered vision.You will retain your loathing for the smoke and mirrors,all the bells and whistles.You will not be swept away by the madness.

But if you are,then who will know better?
