Are you sane?
What is evil? What is good?
What is normal? What is weird?
Who tells you what is
Evil or good?
Normal or weird?
Your parents?
The police?
No one.
It is as simple as left and right.
When you stand you have your left and right.
Turn around, you have another left and right.
Each is different.
Which is correct?
Is it North or South?
Is it East or West?
It is nowhere.
It is everywhere.
So I ask you again,
Are you sane?


The author's comments:
Everything we know is based on the facts, but what about the rights and feelings of people. Who decides what is the solid fact or proof that someone is sane or insane.
Who knows they might be right or they could be horribly wrong.
You might be the only "sane" one.
But really those that set the boundaries for sanity is another human. Just a really long thought.

Reminds me of a saying of my Mom's favorite aunt, who she gave me part of my name after: "I'm not weird, it's just everyone else."
