I think that every one has already met a crazy person in his /her life,but those people who are considered crazy by others,they maybe are no crazy,maybe they do these things to make others convice that they are having psychological problems.Probably Some of them faced many troubles in his/her life ,so he or she prefered to avoid the good life till reaching this point of depresion,etc. So my question is : have you ever tried to talk to a crazy person or come close to him/her to know how she/he thinks, what he\she wants,etc?

    Dear Salim! You never disappoint me! You always start and lead very comprehencive discussions and I do like it. This discussion is not easy. To take part in it we all have to realize what "crazy" is, first of all. This word has many uses. So, let's clear it out. "Crazy" can mean:

    1. an insane ( mentally sick) person
    2. a person who behaves differently from others
    3. a person who doesn't agree with the rules of his society (we call them "outcast")
    4. a person who disbehaves (ha-ha!)

    and this word can be used in some other cases.

    So, to discuss this topic seriously, we should choose the subject. Agree? I think, you've meant the first, i.e., mentally sick people.

    Well, I am a lucky person. I have always been surrounded by smart, well-educated, well-bread people whereever I lived and I consider myself to be the same. However, many people think that I am crazy because being spiritual I am non-religious, being a woman I don't want to have kids, being white I am against rasism, being raised in the USSR I have always been opposite to the ideas of communism and so on. Maybe I am really crazy. But if I were different, I would have died long ago.

    Guys, what I mean is the following: sometimes we think that people are crazy because they behave differently . But who told that we all must be like one? Many outstanding people were considered to be insane but, in fact, they were geniuses.

    So, my idea is that we have to listen to what others want to say, try to analyze and understand it. Different turn of mind doesn't mean craziness.
