So just to clarify, are you proposing that "maddness" and being mentally ill are the same thing? What i mean is when you are mentally ill you arent acually "sick" but just have an unusual way of thinking?

Yes. I would agree. The problem is the inability to communicate with other people and to exist in the same environment because the communication issues.

@richrf,

Madness must be a complete detachment from reality. Whatever reality is. If there is no comprehension of what reality is, then I suppose that person would be mad. Perhaps madness is where a persons comfort zone is. If that comfort zone is delusional.

Considering my list, it is really hard to say. Honestly. I like to think not, now that we have global unfettered communication, it is oh so likely we are getting closer. We have to unless this medium becomes under control as all others have, so it seems to me anyway; the chances are very good we are on the brink of a new reality. We sure do need one. :a-ok:

Peace to you my friend,

You're welcome. We are getting there. It is hard to rifle through thouands of years of history. It will take a little time. Once it grabs a hold, the truth will spread like wild fire; a good definition of the term. IMO. Smile
