"In the old Sufi legend about Allah, he decided to drive everybody crazy. He changed the water so that everybody who drank it would go crazy. And then he decided there was one man he liked a lot so he told him 'Don't drink the water for the next month!' And after the first couple of days of living among all these lunatics the guy couldn't stand it any more and he went and drank the water too.
"The same kind of thing happens every day. People become aware that we're living in a crazy world and then they realize they can't live with that insight so they go crazy themselves so they can fit into that world." -Robert Anton Wilson
That is so true. I often try to NOT drink the water, but sometimes it's just easier to drink it.
ReplyDeleteOf course the problem with NOT drinking the water is that then everyone thinks you're the crazy one.
ReplyDeletedrink it? hell i swim in it!
ReplyDeletei say we have a pool party.
ReplyDeleteSometimes crazy is just more fun.
ReplyDeleteMoobs is right on. Have we all considered the possibility that WE'RE the SANE ones here?
ReplyDeletethe world hurts. and it's true, that if you know too much, you go crazy a little too. this ties into the 'ignorance is bliss' theory. to a degree.
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of one of my all time favorite movie quotes, "Go sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."
