Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
Absolutely every single day of my life. How is that for an answer?
I was once told that those who question their sanity, are in fact the sanest of all. I have held onto this with everything I have over the years. Because if this is true, I have to be the most sane person that will ever exist.
I also think that the most creative people will forever teeter on that ledge of insanity.
At least that is how I hope it is. Because sometimes I feel like I’m about to crash on the less favorable of those sides.
And some days? I’m not even sure which is the more favorable side.
Maybe there is comfort in insanity.
And how much more insane and creative can you get than this?!
The 50 Question Challenge is being brought to by myself and the stellar Lori over at Oh, shit. She’s awake. Go check out her story too. The idea is based on a list of 50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind, that you can also find at the blog Mark and Angel Hack Life. Join us, if you’d like.
I have absolutely no doubt that the truly creative are the same as the “especially insane.” In order to create groundbreaking works of art, you need to be more than a little cuckoo. You need to see the world from a completely different frame of mind than anybody else.
And that makes everything all the better.
I entirely agree. Just as long as I get to enjoy what they are creating, without having to deal with their insanity up close and personal. lol
