Guest August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 Try finding a definition of insanity. Yeah there isnt a strict one. Per my personal definition Insanity is everything, that is not-sane. What is sane one could ask now. Sane is the adjective of the noun sanity and sanity is the description of a healthy state of mind. Onto defining , what a healthy state of mind is. Most people would say, that a healthy state of mind is the average one. Per this definition is a person with insanity a person, that thinks in a non-average way. Now one could argue, "What is the average mind?". Per my definition, the average mind is the one that decides to accept the thinking of other instead of creating their own way to think. Our way of thinking is formed by our parents, by our friends, by our education and lots of other things. If our mind doesnt come up with an original, its own way to think, it adopts the one of a person close to it. It still makes adjustments to the way of thinking, because of influences, but overall has it adopted a major part of the thinking of another person. This way of thinking spread, because of the way we humans get raised. This is why the major amount of the population is what we refer to as "sane". They have the same way of thinking. People have a problem with understanding another way of thinking, because they would have to adopt it to understand it. ( If you are a meat-eater and you see a vegetarian you will probably say, that he is still "sane" because you can understand his way of thinking. If you see a person you would describe as "insane" that is because you cannot understand his/her way of thinking. It would be like trying to understand the way a cat thinks. If a human being were to think like a cat he would be refered to as "insane" by everyone, that doesnt understand him. A cat would refer to him as perfectly sane though.) I hope, that i was understandable. I made this post way to late in the evening and it will therefore contain major logical issues. I do excuse myself for those in advance.

Adente 1,000 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Or just anything so crazy as to not be what most people would define as 'sane'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 Insanity. The crazy, unpredictable, or psycho behaviors one acts towards actions. That's my smart definition towards insanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luximus 482 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 Insanity 1. What Silver said ^ 2. Liking something A LOT 3. being stupid enough to snap. Those are my best guesses on what Insanity is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 (edited) My definition of insanity is best described using the following words: unpredictable, illogical, unstable and ludicrous. Not all those traits have to be there for something to be insane, but I think it's the easiest and most fair way to explain my classification.

Jack Spades 162 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 I hate to joke about such a serious topic but. I think the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting the same results, over and over again and expecting the same results, over and over again and expecting the same results, over and over again and expecting the same results.

Senor Citizen 516 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 (edited) Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same thing... over and over again, expecting... shit to change. That... is crazy; but the first time somebody told me that...I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so boom — I shot him. The thing is, okay... He was right. And then I started seeing: everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked, all these pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same thing... over and over and over and over again thinking: "This time, it's gonna be different; no, no, no, no, no, please... This time it's gonna be different." ...I am sorry, I don't like the way you are looking at me... Okay, do you have a problem in your head? Do you think I am bullshitting you? It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill... The thing is... alright, the thing is: I killed you once already... and it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge.Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity? (Had to be done. Thanks, Vaas!)

Moonlight 7,288 August 27, 2013 Share August 27, 2013 To me, Insanity is: "The thought of wanting to harm others for the sake of your own personal gain. Having an unstable mind that can cause serious problems for you and everyone involved. The voices in your head telling you to do things that are disturbed. The love of hearing someone's heart stop and seeing the fleeing life in someone's dying eyes" 2 matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemi Homura 7,680 August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Something that is considered abnormal to "general human behaviour". A man-made concept meant to keep us in check. And it's such an overused term that it lost its original meaning centuries ago. Women were not equal to men in ancient Greece. In the minds of many today that can be considered insane, but that is how their society functioned back then. It was considered normal; to follow the hierarchy and serve obediently. Of course, now we have gay pride parades and civil rights movements. This largely amounts to insanity itself. Making rules that will be broken in due time. It doesn't matter how long. Ironically, it seems to be the only way for our society to progress on a social scale, which is mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Really?I wouldn't of guessed that I a million years.Sorry for the sarcasm but that sentence was just duh if you no what I mean I pointed that out, so that i could then start defining the word sanity. If i had just gone from insanity to sanity with nothing inbetween, my sentences wouldnt have made alot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer_Luna27 77 August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Insanity is the name people give to others when their weirdness exceeds the normal of what they view as normal, which also depends on how weird the original name giver is. We all are insane by a sane person's perspective, but where is the fun in life if everybody was sane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymags 1,053 August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Insanity is when one lacks the mental capacity to comprehend reason. It's an unsoundness of the mind that leads to making senseless choices (not the casual definition of senseless; making choices which lack sense, logic, and reasoning) and prevent the individual from being a member of society with civil responsibility. Generally it is a mental illness, or a symptom of mental illness, that prevents one from distinguishing fantasy from reality and subsequently cannot determine right from wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootalove 10,689 August 28, 2013 Share August 28, 2013 Insanity is when you lose your mentality to the point where you start to act delusional, crazy, and can't function at all. You start to lose the sight of yourself, logic, or anything else that makes sense. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starshine 16,334 October 25, 2013 Share October 25, 2013 Insane: people who can't stop quoting from pop culture materials in any and all discussions, and those who don't understand the law of probability. On a serious note, Insane means not sane, and sane largely means what is commonly acceptable in the community. So, insane people are those who can't be bothered to accept that others might have different perception and standards, and unable to participate in social interactions without making everyone seriously considering filing restraining orders.
