- Dwell on your past. Having all your energy flow into a big wide open void is insane.
- Get angry in traffic. Anger never made a situation better. This is no exception.
- Be all or nothing. This attitude ensures you will be nothing most of the time. You could of course be some all of the time, if you wanted. But such an attitude may improve things a bit too much.
- Revert to your old habits because you have just slipped up. This is not a sign to revert back. Keep going.
- Stay up way past your bed time in order to watch a movie or whatever. A full day of being rested would have been even better, no?
- Get hung up on someone not interested in you. Your mind and spirit could be directed to so many truly lofty goals. It could even be directed to someone with whom might reciprocate your feelings.
- Having what you own, begin to own you. It’s just stuff. Never let your stuff own you. If it’s going to own you — you’d be better off without it.
These are great ways to be insane. What are your thoughts?
Wise words B.Forest, but nothing beats staying up into the late hours.
This is all so true… Great post! I love the site. The title – and design – is so neat!
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Glad you enjoyed the quote: “A person who is master of patience is master of many things.” I can’t say I’m a master of patience. I don’t really know if I’ll ever be, but that quote speaks loudly, doesn’t it? And the cookies were good!
@ Michele: Hi there. Thank you for the kinds words. You and I may never become masters of patience, but sometimes the try is even more valuable than the outcome.
# 5 is me, i stay up every night. Sometimes I never sleep.
@ technokid88: I always remembered you to be a real night owl.
Uh-oh. I’ve totally done all of these. Please don’t send the men in white coats yet; I promise I’ve learned from each experience. I would amend this to say that *repeating* these behaviors is a great way to be insane.
@ Sara: As have I. And they are all truly effective ways to be insane; I’ve given them all a thorough test drive and they all passed with flying colors. The men in white coats will be delayed, on account of your request. I’ve repeated them too, just to make sure they are very effective.
haha… you wouldn’t want me to dwell on my past,
and thanks for telling me that Get hung up on someone not interested in you. can make someone go insane… i did that often (*sigh) hmmm… guess i had a long name-list that i should apologize eh?
(like your background template
really fun)
Yeah bamboo forest, i was always a night owl and still am. I like watching pun intended go from day to night with its cool css effect.
@ Trisna: My pleasure. Thank you for the kind words about the background. And, thanks for your comment :]
@ technokid88: Thanks. The P.I. Universe is alive. And, we always have Hani to keep us company, in the night ^_^
I like this list. It makes it simple to realize just how lost people can get over meaningless things. #’s 1, 4 and 5 were written for me unfortunately. Boy am I tired.
@notes8: I will readily admit, #5 is something, up until this point, that I still do battle with, and sometimes lose >_<
