The Only Sense Left To Me Is Humor Having been blessed with GAD, depression, PTSD, sleep disorder and social anxiety, I had to laught when I came across this quote. "What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?" Ursula K. LeGuin |
"Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage." -Ray Bradbury |
When I came to AA, I wasn't restored to sanity I was introduced to it. |
Ha ha, Zen, that is what I was thinking...that it would depend on how one defines sanity. Humor is seeing the absurd in a situation. I think insanity is denying the absurd and going crazy trying to make things make "sense" rather than being OK with how they are. Self definition can get me in a whirlpool of WTF!? Meaning..if I take on my diagnosis as the final word on who or what I am...I'm toast. If I allow myself to be driven crazy by what I am not...I'm toast If I allow myself to be driven crazy by some idea of who I, or others "think I should be"...I'm toast. Today, I'm me, sitting on my bed, typing on my computer, thinking about getting ready for work. I am so much more than a bizarrely introspective recovering addict. I get tired of being "on stage" in that guise so much of the time. It's boring, it's exhausting. It's a program running in the backround of my mental computer, to be sure, but it's not always what I have I my main screen. Humor is the ability to see the absurd in a situation. Good thing we have THAT! Yes, yes, AMEN to that! |
