The Rantings of a Madman

If you think that this world is messed up, you're right.  We are all one people, derived from the same source, yet we despise one another, we kill one another, we torture one another and for what?  Ideals and beliefs that aren't even tangible?  Huh! And people say that schizophrenics are to be locked up.

Let's see, some people are called delusional because they claim to see things that aren't there, and as a result, they are locked up and fed medication.  Others are praised because they see, feel, hear, smell, and taste things that aren't there.  As a result, they get a show on TV going around hunting for ghosts.  So, who's mad here?  Me, or everyone else?  Sometimes I wonder just how messed up this world is still going to become.  Have we reached the peak of madness?  Or just the beginning?

Some societies condone mercy killings, while others prohibit it.  Some societies claim to be peaceful, yet have slaughtered thousands, if not more, because of their belief system.  What gives?  Am I mad here?  How can someone espouse freedom of religion while simultaneously pushing their beliefs onto others?

Maybe I am mad, or, maybe I'm the only sane person here and everyone else is mad.  As time goes on, and the older I get, I see more and more of this hypocrisy around the world.  I try to steer clear of it, because I know that delving too far into it could mean that I might start seeing things that aren't there.  Now that just won't do!
