Many of you are romanticizing "hearing voices" but is mostly because you don't know what that's really like, is not like talking to the mirror or "hearing your conscience". I had a friend with Schizophrenia and she cried every single day, many times she wanted to die just to make her pain go away, she tried every possible drug (legal or otherwise), the level of unrest and anxiety that she had to go through is not something I desire even upon the worst human beings.
I think that just like the brain is likely the most powerful machine in the world, when it goes bad is also the most damaging machine in the world for the person who has it.
