Are mad people really mad ??

OR, Have they reached a certain truth or experienced certain feelings and faced certain circumstances that are "beyond" our capabilities and understanding, and thus, we call them "mad" ?!!

For example, we call other "normal" people or friends "mad" when *sometimes they behave in a strange or weird way, or when struck with an idea that seems to us "abnormal" or "untraditional", so the quick "nick" given to them is " you're mad/crazy/insane" !!

so plz, if you're interested then share your ideas ;-)

~~Love You All~~ :-)

    Hm...

    Certainly some 'madness' is basically what's left of a person when life throws certain things at them.

    I think everyone is to a certain degree 'weird' anyway. I hate people who are 'cookie cutter'. They aren't interesting and certainly wouldn't be able to handle hanging out with me ;) :P

    Then there are those who unfortunately are suffering from various psychological issues.

    Then there's the final category which are those people who are super-smart. Apparently Albert Einstein needing help with basic things such as getting dressed even, towards the end. Their brains just work in an amazing way, and they're so intelligent and stuff, but I guess the rest of the brain 'dies' in a sense?

    Assallam mu alaikom.

    It is people who classified another person who do things other than the normal self as mad. However, Allah knows best why such person behave in that manner. Take for an example a story of a Wali Allah who killed a child. The villagers claimed that the Wali Allah was insane. However, when the Wali Allah explained that the child will be a cruel person who will abuse his mother when he grow up, the villagers felt relief with the answer.

    We should sympathise with people who are fated to be "Mad. " We should be grateful that we are not one of them. As such, render help when they need like providing clothes, food and drinks. Don't be cruel to them despite their condition and look. No one wish to be in that state. Have some mercy on such people. They also deserve the right to live in this world.

    Great Question and I asked to myself before and I will give u the answer

    we having hard days these days so u can see normal people is mad and mad people is calm and more kind

    cuz our evaluation these days is different before u we get born

    my grandfather and parents says how these things happened it is so strange ????????

    why the principles is different and the problem that a lot of people believe about it and respect

    like sh3bola for example ?????????

    why some people should respect this kind of art has no meaning and no sense ??????????

    Interesting question.

    Actually, it depends on who is talking. Or who is judging you could say.

    If my grandfather was still alive, he would call me mad if he found out that I am communicating with people I never met on this device we call a computer.

    Galileo was called crazy as he explored the gravity theory.

    I would go this far and say that Hitler was called mad simply because he lost the war. happy I am that he did, I still think the same. History is the collection of lies written by the victorious party.

    I don't think I answered your question, did I??

    But my mind can only come up with this; The monent we start to think that people arround us are going mad is the same moment that we ourselves start to lose it.

    @Nile P, nice answer!!

    We have to be mad to put up with all the things life throws at us, & what do we do, we accept it, all of it. You have to live by de-sensitising, see life in a sort of tunnel vision, or you wouldnt be able to cope. Its easier said than done for most of us.

  • Yes, I watch TV sometimes when there is a good football game. but most of the time I prefer to spend evening with the family.
