steffanMy uncle went insane, strictly speaking. When he got better, he told me that the experience wasn't one of feeling as if his mind was making up nonsense... It was one of feeling as if the world around him was the one going mad. His mind was still flexible enough to make sense of everything, and it seemed to him as if the people around him all began to very gradually act in stranger and stranger ways, until it demanded a response from him, at which point he learned that things weren't as he perceived them.
Lately I feel this way too. I look specifically at my country and think, it's all topsy-turvy and I wonder, "If the me of a decade or more ago were put all at once into this mess, he'd run. This is some serious sh!t. He'd be on his way to dual citizenship in someplace scandinavian." But the real me, I've had this change happen gradually, all the while thinking... well, THIS SUCKS, but I can take it, at least this slice of horror. One more, and THAT will be too much.
I wonder how much really IS too much?
