I am mad, am I mad, I want to be mad!

'Madness is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country , able to see and understand everything around you but incapable of explaining what you need to knpw or of being held, because you dont understand the language that they speak there. we've all felt thatway at one time or another and therefore in one way or another we are all mad.' Paulo Coelho - Veronika wants to die.

If you look at it sanely from the intelligence you have gathered over the numerous years of your existance any one you has said soem thing slightly non conformist in this conformist society is considered mad. Plato, Aristotle, Galileo.. to some degree, Einstein, even Jesus Christ , in their day and age were all heretics or mad. Only because they looked at things differently, thought differently, however, today we encourage herd mentality.

Today life is filled with so many amenities, comforts and the race to attain these that we dont have time to free think. Either we are stuck in attaining the luxurious nirvana, paid for salvation or making ends meet. We dont have time to paint, create or even think. The renaissance period had it's share of Picasso, Leonardo and Rembrandt and we have our share of trojan and the love worm . the hackers and virus creators are perhaps the painters of today. They are in their own way artists - are they not?
