Logic is not always rational
The human mind is complex. We rarely act solely according to the formal rules of logic. Our actions are often dictated by fears, traumas, expectations, dreams, instincts. What seems like madness to the outside may be a completely reasonable choice for the person inside.
Example: someone suddenly quits their "perfect" job and moves to the countryside. For those around them, it's nonsense.
But for them, it's salvation. Escape from the cage. The only chance to save themselves.
Madness as a form of protest
Sometimes "madness" is a cry that would not be heard otherwise. It is an attempt to go beyond the boundaries that stifle. It is a form of disobedience or a desire to be heard. We call those who do not fit crazy, but often it is they who move the world.
Galileo Galilei, Van Gogh, Kurt Cobain, Joanna d'Arc... First - madmen. Then - geniuses. Or heroes.
Personal logic is not public
We judge others by ourselves. But each person lives in their own universe, with their own laws. Some people's logic is built on pain, some on survival, some on love. Until you enter someone's inner world, their behavior may seem irrational. But try to understand - and many things will fall into place.
Why is this important?
It teaches us empathy.
Instead of judging - try to understand.
It gives freedom.
We do not have to be understandable to everyone - only to ourselves.
It opens the door to creativity.
Many great things began with ideas that seemed absurd.
Every madness has its own logic.
The question is not whether it is mad, but what universe you are looking at.
Sometimes, to understand another, you need not to reject his "madness", but to try to decipher his language.
