Wise Craziness

A wise thinker said that the world is a madhouse. We all behave like crazy people when we create illusions and believe them to be real. On the other hand, some “craziness” is necessary to lighten up our existence. In fact, why take ourselves so seriously? Great saints like Joan of Arch, St. Francis of Assisi and Sri Ramakrishna were considered insane. Just stop for a minute and think about the importance you attribute to all the things (usually negative) that happen in your life. But…are they really so important? Are they really worth you getting upset because…. or being angry at…. or resenting …. labeling…. judging…? How much lighter – and merrier – life would be without all those self-inflicted burdens!
