(In)Sanity?

Not the typical sort of thing people think about, I’m sure. But how can you tell whether or not a person is sane? There is a fine line between sanity and insanity, but how do you determine where that line is? People are so content (self righteous?) crossing lines, is this simply one more line people are going to cross? When something drastic happens, people always say that they would never do anything like that, but who can really tell? You never know how you will act in a situation until you are actually in that situation. Why do we take offense to people doing what they simply feel the need to do (in context of everyday life, of course)? If it is what someone needs to do, then let them do it. You can’t change people, you can only love them. Funny, that’s something that is lacking in the world now. People don’t love other people. People love what other people can do for them. Instead of relationships based on similarities and sincere liking and such, we now have relationships based on convenience. “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine,” seems to be a life motto or something now. And if someone expresses concern, their ostracized. What is the point of trying when it accomplishes nothing?

If you find the right words, you can unlock the world…
But who cares enough to try?
