Who exactly is completely sane? Who has no chance of sanity? And most importantly, who has the right to tell if someone is sane or not?
Sanity is questioned quite often, but does anyone truly understand the concept? I like to think that everyone has some degree of insanity (some more obvious than others), but what if those "clinically insane" people are that way merely because they don't like being sane. It's possible that some of them are just brilliant actors able to appear insane in order to get away from their lives and society.
Personally, I don't think people should worry about someone else's sanity. If another person behaves oddly, then leave them be (as long as they aren't homicidal, suicidal, etc.). If you feel insane, don't fight it, but embrace it, you might just discover something about yourself.
Sanity is just a different state of mind, and it's usually more fun than conformity, but if you'd rather suppress your insane side and blend in with the crowd, be my guest, after all, if everyone was completely insane, wouldn't it then be classified as sane? I'm making my own head hurt so I'll just end this post right now.
