Frisky Versus Crazy

We live in a crazy world... a world of total madness... a world of incoherence and absurd.

The craziness in an acceptable degree is really nice, it's when you play with your life... and you live everything that’s happening with maximum enthusiasm... It's when instead of being rigid and serious you choose to be playful and flexible.

But the pure madness syndrome is very destructive and very dangerous. Madness is when a person chooses the exacerbated emotions at the expense of the logic and of the pragmatic mentality. The reality of a madman is unique... is totally subjective and extremely dangerous both for himself and for others.

And so... the question is... what does distinguish the positive emotions from the bad ones? Where is that line between joy and ecstasy? When we're losing that notion of balance?

I've read somewhere recently... "A smile can be a therapy without reason... but if you find yourself

laughing hysterically for no reason, then you need therapy." :)

So when do you need therapy? How can you realize that you've gone from the interesting one to the freak one?

And what about the screams and the noises? Why do people feel they need to make noise to be heard? I don't know... maybe... they feel unnoticed and need to stand out somehow.

And then... the vulgar clothes, the exhibitionistic attitudes, the extreme sarcasm... in the end all these things will eventually lead to aggression, violence, abuse and generally to an anti-social behavior. What today may seem as a totally innocent gesture, made just in order to get attention... can lead tomorrow to a totally irresponsible and dangerous individual.

Don't get me wrong... I love non-conformism and unique personalities... but from there till exaggerating everything you do and say just in order to attract attention... when you forget about good manners, common sense and empathy... then it's not non-conformism anymore, it's a deviant behavior.

No matter how free we are, we are responsible to respect some unwritten rules, some principles...

because if we break them... society will collapse and it will become a chaotic and dangerous space for all of us.

So be free, exteriorize yourself... but to the extent that it doesn't infringe on others!

Folks... no more embarrassing stuff just to stand out! Don't put yourselves in absurd situations just to get a bit of attention! Live your lives nicely, temper your emotions and try to create for yourselves unique personalities through the unquestionable qualities that you already have!

You do not need fireworks to have a good and beautiful and exciting life. It's all about balance.
