I recently learned a new definition of mental illness. Dr. Orion Taraban has a unique and clear understanding of the human psyche. In a recent Youtube video he discusses the concept of reification and how it often results in someone being considered mentally ill. I am adding a link below. I believe we all have the same condition, and that condition is that we are unique individuals with a strong desire to fit into the pack. Unfortunately the pack develops it’s own way of thinking, and when we behave differently than the pack-norm we are suddenly noticed and judged, and because of reification something is created out of nothing, and now we are sick! Such bullshit! Watch the video and see what you think – I am a phycological illiterate so every time I watch it I learn something new. There are so many ways to look at a thing! Let’s celebrate that rather than deciding on a single view that will never fit us all!

To be considered sane
you have to play
the very same game 
that others claim.

When doing something different
first your are seen as dissent
then considered insane
because you do not behave the same.

But what if everyone else
is behaving false
and they are the ones
that are fucking nuts.

I feel it’s much better 
to follow your own letter 
and live as you please 
to have some semblance of peace.

We are all a little insane
and we all carry blame
and our only claim to fame 
is that we are all the fucking same!
