Actually the line dividing a genius and a madman has been indeed thin.
To define madness we must first define what really is normal.
So a madman always was someone who isn’t normal. He was probably aware of his body. In addition, he talks sensibly and listens carefully. He does not talk unceasingly to himself loudly. He has been in synch and not out synch with time. If he does I know it’s usually temporary and not for a long term. He, surely, understands money worth. He does not deliberately inflict injury on himself. Normal person does not throw stones at the passers by, it is rather obvious. This is where it starts getting really entertaining. He does not loose cool quickly. When he has to, he uses force proportionately. He discharges his public obligations and family responsibilities well. He has community etiquettes. Then, he does not fight phantoms of imagination. He has been law abiding, and suchlike the list will be long, quite long.
His individual hygiene has been good.
Similarly, someone could be madly in love.
Madness in anger is temporary. Rather few of us come out of our comfort zone out of our own volition. Anger has probably been sudden outburst or release of energy. It has power to improve status quo. Let me ask you something. Has been it? Status quo keeps us in our comfort zone. We say he is mad at someone, when someone has usually been angry at someone.
Nature itself is status biggest enemy quo, try rough as we may to keep things as they are. In volcano outburst, or the collision of tectonic plates causing tremors of numerous degrees on Richter Scale, status quo is being challenged. While being a transvestite or a drag queen carried some stigma, cross dressing was abnormal. At one time even homosexuality was considered a mental illness. It’s no longer the case. Normalcy idea was usually in a flux. Therefore this has been the space between 1 thoughts. Thoughts happen to be disjointed. Since counter ‘thought we that’ keeps the illusory continuity going, it said that for this kind of a man thoughts continuity breaks down completely. They other day I was understanding a book about Enlightenment that probably was what Buddha had under a Bodhi tree. In a madman case this space is filled by delusions as thoughts of a madcap were probably as well disjointed.
Oftentimes we feel that megalomaniacs, power seekers, and paranoid, ruthless people have probably been more harmful to society than all the lunatic people put together, and they going to be sent to the loony bin and not the mad people whose illness has been mostly genetic and runs into the family, and the day ain’t far off when madness would’ve been treated with genetic had been written in response to an attempt by a lot of individuals to declare someone mentally ‘sickwho’, otherwise, to me looks very well normal and sane, and morrow he now is taken to a mental hospital for a manageable admission in it.
Therefore this man is vulnerable as he does not have a job, does not work for a living and subsists on his mother’s pension, who always was likewise unwell.
