[Repeal The 17th]

I worked for over a year as a night attendant at an asylum
back in the 1970’s while I was trying to pay for going to college.
The only thing I learned from the experience was that you should
not spend too much time trying to understand why crazy people
do the things that they do.
Just accept that they are crazy and therefore they do crazy things.
That’s all there is to it, really.

I had a roommate in Raleigh years ago who worked nights at Dorthea Dix hospital and he said the same thing.
And I think that’s what we had today with this guy.

Trying to understand insane people is like trying to reason with liberals.

Good advice for the divorced as well.

“Just accept that they are crazy and therefore they do crazy things.”

My opening position is that everybody’s crazy.

Just accept that they are crazy

And therein lies the slogan for liberalism. Many are stupid. Most are ugly. But they are all clinically insane. bruce jenner is their hero? Insane.

Me too. Everyone should have to work in a mental hospital as part of their education.

Just accept that they are crazy and therefore they do crazy things.

Now if we can just convince those that try to understand or make sense of these acts that there is NOTHING to understand.

As you said, "Craxy" is NOT something anyone CAN understand.

When I was at the Navy Advanced Intelligence Officer School one of the other students commented to the visiting lecturer, a Navy Captain, that what the Russians were doing in a particular instance didn’t make any sense.

The Captain replied, “You are looking at it from an American point of view. Russians do things for Russian reasons not American reasons.”

This was a giant ‘Ah Ha!’ moment for me. People do things for their reasons, not yours.

This is why it is so hard to understand why crazy people do what they do. Their thinking is not the same as yours or mine.

The same thing applies to liberals and Democrats, but I repeat myself.

True in many cases, but sometimes there are reasons. Certain drugs can drive people lulu and make them crazy. Or even make them somewhat normal depending on the brain. Btw, I like that old commercial with the egg in the frying pan, "This is your brain on drugs".

Sad and entirely true.

The folks who think crazy folks can’t plan anything (that the planning proves that they are sane) really need to get up close and personal with a crazy person to understand the error of their thinking.
