As I get older, the blindingly obvious principle that we're all different seems to get more profound.
In this case we all have different drivers, and different definitions of "sane". Some people love being part of a bigger whole, so to suggest these conformists aren't sane is as patronising as calling the non-conformists insane because they don't get with the program.
An important corollary to this principle is that being different is healthy - diversity is strength.
So don't be too quick to judge sanity. Except for those who think everyone should be the same - just like them, of course! They really ARE insane.

Who in their right mind would assume that "sane" (and "hypersane") would be an objective enough of a concept to even dedicate time discussing? Neither science knows what is sane, nor does spirituality teachings use that word often.
- dsego 7y agoThe terminology is used to paint a picture, not to introduce a new branch of science, it's not meant to be objective. It just poses a question, how can regular person tell the difference between someone who's lost their marbles and someone who is actually thinking more clearly than them by rejecting established norms.
