insanity

How does one approach insanity? By what criteria can we judge it? Is recognition sufficient to making a claim that it insanity is manifesting itself? Would Kant’s list of categories regarding the judgment of beauty—quality, quantity, relation, and modality—apply to judging insanity, particularly one’s own?
***
Insanity feels like a shadow lurking beneath moving, vibrant vessels, feigning deep sleep as it chases laminated dreams across stained pages. drained of hope it seeks meaning by aligning shattered glass, deciphering the message of a broken bottle, tossed night after night after night when the sunrise is brilliant advancing straight to the heart, but is soon enveloped by an endless chain of jasmine fragranced shadows and nothing else.

  1. ""For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity""""

  2. Thanks for sharing that quotation by Jean Dubuffer! I had to look him up, actually. Loved his pieces.

    I think insanity allows for creativity, because it breaks boundaries and engages with the unknown.

    But when do we place limits on insanity? How do we know when insanity is no longer productive or creative, but rather destructive?
