Can anyone deny that what people think is "Normal" is actually mental illness?

I wrote something long and meandering as I was on one with the topic but lets keep it simple instead. Interpret the topic however you wish. Go with whatever popped into your head or, better yet, was felt in your chest. The reason why you clicked the thread. Anything. It doesn't matter how you interpret it. Just think, feel and perceive the true nature of this realm and the people therein as well as how they spend their days, nights, lives and all within the human experience then respond.

You'd first have to objectively define 'normal' to make that assertion valid.​

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Its open ended, interpret and define the premise however you wish like I said. Whatever pops into your awareness, whatever motivated you to click, your first instinct.

Realest ish Krishnamurti ever wrote and one of my favorite quotes because it sums it all up perfect. Either you get it and live it or are oblivious and never considered your programming as well as the nature of this realm.

Negged for low effort thread making

Agreed. You need a definition of terms.




Personally, I think you could use a statistical model that used the average behavior as the mean (mu) value and create a bell curve. then you can categorize the outliers on either side of the bell curve as deviants. You can go even further and put folks in the 0.5 percent confidence interval as genuinely crazy, cause these people are the deviants among deviants.


But this model pretty much debunks the OP. Cause crazy would be a measure of deviation form that mean norm of the population's behavior.

If you can't define what 'normal' is, then you can't say what qualifies as 'mental illness'.

Postmodernism strikes again!!!​

yes

issues exacerbate when politicians needs votes from these people
and businesses need money from this people

so they have to cater to the damaged people of the world and tell them that they arent the problem

a very easy example is this fat acceptance shyt
they took it too far

Explain to me how/why the world could be “crazy” when humans have been on this kind of time since we got here. THIS is us breh.

I think you’ll understand one day; but today is not that day.
Onward……

This was actually why I didn't post the original couple or three hundred words I'd typed. The original OP did go into that but then I thought it would easily drift into semantics and TLDR aneurysms because everyone has their own perspective hence going open ended but here we are... Counting the trees instead of enjoying the fruit.

Don't look to me for validation, go with your own definition, your own perspective, your own insight. Respond by sharing whatever motivated you to click the thread and what it made you think. Instead of trying to find lines to color within take it as a blank page and see what happens when you push the pen of your awareness.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Relax your mind, let your conscience be free and see what answers spring forth internally.

And that doesn't seem crazy to you? For real?

That’s like calling a dolphin crazy for swimming. Go watch a video on chimps and watch their social hierarchy. Some creatures are into ruling and having followers. Orcas smack baby seals up for fun. Are they crazy? Mammals are violent breh.

That said, we need to tone it down and stop promoting and escalating it, but…



Go watch “All Is Quiet On The Western Front” on Netflix for some perspective.

Yea

You can't measure 'crazy' without normalcy
