What can be labeled as sane and what can be labeled as insane? Is there an absolute for it? One man's reality is another man's insanity. Is there a proof of what one man claims he sees which we cannot see, in reality, does not exist, just because we cannot see it? Do we really have a right to declare that person insane just because we cannot see what he sees or we cannot feel what he feels. We cannot! We try and pacify the other by saying that what he sees does not exist, so that by believing that perhaps what he is seeing does not exist may make his reality little more bearable. But who are we to say on absolute grounds that his illusion is not real and ours is. Perhaps we are living in an illusion of what he sees or feels does not exist and his view of reality is what the reality is really like. Who knows!
A similar turn of events happens when two people fall miserably in love. The perception of what is right, sane and reasonable changes. They are seen doing things which may be classified by the rest of the world as insane or unreasonable but to them it is the most reasonable and sane action. Like.. wanting to be lost in the jungle for days, wanting to stay in some one's arms forever, stare at some one while they sleep etc etc. They see themselves on one side and every one else on the other end of the world. They feel they share some thing which no one else can understand or feel at that particular moment.
It is the moments of that lovers' sanity and normal man's insanity which makes falling in love all worth while. No matter how bad a heart break one suffers after that, one is willing to go through all that pain just to share that temporary high of lovers' sanity with his lover.
The loss of love really starts to become apparent between two people or how we say the fire starts dying when one of the two may start to think that the idea the other one is presenting is silly, unreasonable or just insane. If one starts to fall out of lovers' sanity that is when one of the lovers starts becoming worried. Cos that is when the idea of whats sane and whats not between two people starts to change. The idea of sanity is some thing which they no longer share. What tied them together is no longer there.
That feeling of lovers sanity is so high amazing and beautiful that one would put all on stake just to feel the same way again, even if that is only for a moment.
Dedicated to Mr. S and Ms. A! Who are about to get married in February, May their lovers' sanity prevail!
