Conflicting Ideas

Is the world corrupt?

No, not really.

It is merely blind.

Blinded by what you ask?

Can't you figure it out?

Okay, I'll help you out.

Let's start at the beginning…

Where you ask?

Why with all the questions?!

Calm down, seek inner haven.

Okay, let's start again.

Follow me…

War.

Death and meaningless bloodshed.

And for what?

Power? No.

Supremacy? No, again.

The answer is for security.

You might think:

Security? Nah!

Can't be! Never!

But it's true.

Look deep within yourself.

The answer is there.

Can't find it?

Keep looking.

It's there.

To move on…

Let us go to the

World as a whole.

What's wrong with the world?

Why everything!

And yet nothing.

How can that be?

Well, there's death, famine

Chaos, destruction, etc…

But there is still good in the world.

Some hope of sanity left,

Be it sane of insane.

Hope in insanity?

Yes, it can exist.

Look for yourself.

What's so hard to believe?

Don't you hate yourself

And love your being all at once?

See?

The answers are there for us,

We just have to dig deep.

Where is this insanity you ask?

So full of questions are we.

It's locked in us all.

Yes, you heard right.

It's inside us all,

It just needs to be released.

You make it sound so horrid,

So demeaning, something to be

Looked down upon…

But it's not that at all.

It's a wondrous thing,

Insanity is.

Insanity is not just us

Talking to ourselves, or

Listening to disembodied voices.

No, it is following that

Which we believe is right, even

If others disagree.

You disagree?

Then listen further,

Hear me fully.

You think insanity is

Senselessness.

It's not, I'm afraid.

Senselessness is akin to

Blind rage,

Akin to losing oneself.

"But the definition of insanity is…"

No, you were taught wrong,

Young one.

Yes, I called you young!

Even if you're ninety-eight

You are still young in mind.

Don't interrupt your peer!

Don't judge me by age,

I am far maturer than you!

But alas, before my emotions

Overtake me,

Let us continue.

Maturity.

A good topic to move to.

Vast things are held within.

Ahhhhh…

Maturity is not measured by

Years, dear friend.

Instead, it is measured by

One's thoughts.

How?

Exactly.

By thought alone.

That is how.

Why the furrowed brow?

Is it that hard to understand?

Then let me explain further.

Thought is this:

Letting your mind wander

Amid the countless ideas that

Inhabit the mind,

Be they small or

Be they large.

The more you let

Your mind dwell on

A certain topic,

The more chance it

Has to develop,

As does maturity.

Thusly, insanity

Goes in hand with

Maturity.

If you allow yourself to

Think about multiple

Answers at once,

While not ruling

Out any possibilities,

The mind is given the chance to develop.

Do you see now?

Good, good!

Onward then.

You now see that that which

You previously called 'evil'

Is not evil at all.

You have allowed your

Mind to grow in ways

Incomprehensible.

That is the true meaning of

Maturity. Others were led astray

Not by evil, but by confusion.

Endless possibilities await you.

Do not fear though, for

It is merely understanding.

Do not allow others to think

Less of themselves when

Around you, though.

Merely help them understand

What I have shown you.

Help their mind mature.

With that done,

My job accomplished,

I must leave now.

Do not let fear cloud your

Mind. I will be in your

Heart and thoughts forever.
