In the midst of madness, when all seems lost, the world can feel like it is crashing down on top of you. But, is it just me or do you seem to make sense of the world when it is falling apart. It is as if the madness is the collective veil covering your eyes and has now reached its breaking point. As it all falls to pieces you begin to see the veil for what it is: a cloak covering your eyes, a shield to reality. Sometimes I find that when I've reached such tipping points I feel extremely healthy, as if suddenly awakened from a dream. At these points I tend to appreciate the madness and see just how helpful it was. Would I have reached the same point without it? Did I need to distortion to see what I now see? I would argue yes. The question I now ask is: once going through such craziness, do you still need the madness in your life?
