Madness defined....

what is madness anyway? is it used simply to describe someone who is mentally ill? what then constitutes to the whole definition of it when it simply only takes in one-sided stories of people who are mad? is it so that just because these people, these presumably "mad" people would and shall have no say in this due to the fact that "autonomy" don't play a valid role in their lives in the eyes of others?

so then, is madness simply a term coined up and is socially defined?

or can madness be a form of introspective speculation of oneself? a sort of perception that people who are "mad" come about themselves? perhaps then, they wouldn't be really "mad", would they, perhaps then they might actually turn out to be more clear cut in their perception and senses of this world, more rational as they are able to see from a perspective that most of us would never dream of seeing, not to say, rather, not wanting to see....

the world through the eyes of the presumably mentally ill might in fact be much much more real than the presumably real world that we are told we live in today... perhaps those living in a state of hallucinations and delusions are actually those who are really aware of what life is... not so much of us being those who are aware...

madness...

just because someone goes and kill himself, is that madness?
just because someone's ideas are different from the norm, is that madness?

what is there is a legitimate reason behind all these that we just wouldn't accept?
would it be then that we are really the ones who are mad?
