UPON MY HONOR(HONOUR)






What is most important to you. Some say their lives, some say dignity, some say self respect, some claim honor. What many people dont figure in this equation is sanity. Its only until you start losing it till you can realise how important it is. But by the time u start losing it ur too crazy to realise it. Subcconciously or conciously most of the things that we do is for the sake of our sanity. People will go to any lengths to maintain their sanity. The lesser the boundaries the easier it is to stay sane. Sanity is indirectly proportional to the amount of activity in ones life. People who can vent their feelings without hesitation, who say whats on their minds and are generally less inhibited find it easier to maintain their sanity. Sanity is one of the most difficult to maintain in the world we live in. And sanity is also among other things --- a good song or truth for instance ------ a point of view. If one labours under the delusion that one can convince every person in the world that he is sane, id say that one is laboring under a delusion. If you try to convince people of ur sanity, they will disbelieve you if they consider that you are insane, and if they dont, then there is nothing to prove.....the classic catch 22 instance put forth by the book. (catch 22 i have observed is possibly the greatest irony that life has to offer, and occurs in almost every walk of life. Little wonder then that Catch 22 is among my favorite books.) Insanity can also be good for a person. As long as he knows that he is sane, he little cares what others things. In fact he might even like being labelled insane. In such cases he takes for granted that insanity means not sticking to given parameters and defying conformity. And in a word that means "rebel". Who doesnt like being labelled a rebel. As it is cool to be considered different the trappings of stereotypicality or conformity are to be avoided at all costs. But within, what a person wants most is to remain sane. And that can be a very difficult thing to do in todays world.
