all may have the potential to be crazy, but that does not mean that we ARE
crazy.
1.)
We don’t act on every crazy thought we
have
2.)
We may have the
potential to hurt people, but we choose not to
3.)
If everyone has it,
it’s normal, not crazy.
· Crazy is subjective and objective
1.)Private
Crazy
2.)
What some people
think is fine, others would think is
crazy
3.)
Large scale crazy
dismissed (extreme sports), but walking barefoot on the street is accepted
4.)
Society, and personal
society decide what is ok and what is crazy.

If
we’re all crazy, seeking normalcy is truly crazy

executions?
