After deep thought and consideration, I decided that this is going to be my first post : On the thin line between the crazy and the genius

"First of all ask your selves the following question :
What’s the bare definition of a genius ?
According to the dictionary, he’s someone who has an aptitude of creating something new, something wonderful, and in most cases, something that’s life saving, and what’s more noble than saving lives ?
And what about the definition of craziness ?
It has been defined as the loss of reason and perception of reality. But isn’t that exactly what we need in order to stimulate the process of thinking about, inventing and creating things that are jaw-dropping ?
So after all, isn't craziness a form of liberation from the rational, the reality, the common sense, and other obstacles that block simple minds ?
It can be seen as the fuel that powers the engine of inspiration and creativity which inevitably generates pretty uncommon ideas that don’t get the appreciation of the common mortal mind, because of its limitation by the boundaries of morals and common sense that have been carved into their minds since childhood. Fortunately, humanity finds itself heading towards a dead end that could only be avoided by taking the path that those who had been marginalized for being different drew.
What’s pitiful about the humans reaction towards those who are classified as “crazy”, is that they exclude from their pathetic social group to which they refer as “society” in order to preserve it’s integrity and “well being”.
It seems necessary at this point to evocate a fundamental question :
Will the human species recognize it’s fault for marginalizing those who hold the key of its own survival ?
In my belief, it will never happen. Prodigies shall be treated, as always, like tumors that must be destroyed in order to preserve the illusions that the simple minded create to justify their presence in this world.
and finally, for the different ones out there, never forget, that nothing is true, and everything is permitted, and that only those who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, are the ones who do.
