Crazy

There are some weird people out there. What do you think it would take for you to be in a huge crowd of people like a subway train or concert hall and start masturbating?  I would have to have absolutely lost my mind somehow or taken a ludicrous amount of drugs and even then, I don't think I could do it.  Yet some people have lost that thing that stops us from doing the crazy stuff others do.

I wonder if there is a pre-crazy phase that a person would go through first, where they haven't reached that completely uninhibited stage of living. At which point do you graduate to a full fledged insane being?  Nobody starts out insane you would have to become that way somehow.  If you think about it would be kind of nice to be crazy, you would have no fear of, well, anything.

 There is a huge difference between a crazy person and someone who wants attention.  Someone who loves attention will do seemingly crazy acts so as to get noticed.  A crazy person does what they want when they want with no care about what other people think.  Is a psychopath the same thing?  I think a psychopath knows what they are doing but don't care about any ramifications, they plan out what they are going to do. Crazy people do things completely at random without concern or ramification.

If you went fishing without a hook or lure and thought to yourself that you are going to catch a fish and after a hundred failed attempts you kept trying because you still thought that you could catch a fish that way, is the definition of crazy.   Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Where did all these terms for crazy, psychotic, psychopath, insane, madness, come from? Are there really that many people out there that society has come up with numerous labels for all these types of people?  I actually think there are more of them out there than we know about.

I am often confused as why you would stick metal rods through your skin and hang yourself from them, or to tattoo your whole body so that you look like a lizard and then cut your tongue in half so that you really looked the part. I know this is mostly for attention but that attention can't last forever and you are going to be stuck looking like a lizard or having huge holes in your body for the rest of your life. Something has to a little screwed up in these peoples brains.

How about you guys out there? What is some crazy stuff you have seen?
