How many times have you saw something on the news that someone did that was so unthinkable that you said, “How could he do that?”  We are all capable of doing something horrific, but innately we know that there are consequences to our actions, so we choose not to do them.  Yet, what if the logical self had been manipulated for years, abused, drugged, or just killed and had never been restored?  The medical profession would say the person has a “mental illness” based on any quirky behavior, weird brain wave activities, and so on.   Society would look upon one’s actions or inactions as “abnormal, “crazy” or “strange.”  You may know someone like this and lately the sane and the crazy just aren’t mixing at home or at work.   

What if you are the one with the issues?  What if for years you walked around this earth with an unstable mind and didn’t know it?  It is scary just to think about it.  But back to the crazed individual, some people may have dismissed this person as just “odd.”   He or she could very well be struggling with health issue that is affecting his or her mind and if so, it isn’t any wonder that your interaction with this person can be at times downright strange. 

Up today, down tomorrow, this person can’t really get along with you or too many other people, because of his or her troubles.  But those that are use to this person’s sporadic episodes would dismiss their behavior as “just being them.”  The logical mind will never get along with an unstable person unless he or she can dismiss good old fashioned common sense every now and then.  Logical people will try to reason every action, “Well her issues could be due to…he is acting like that as a result of…Could it be that he is doing that because…”  The unstable person will become defensive, because their actions are in question.  The stable-minded man will bump heads with the unstable one and before long Mr. Logic is trying to talk some sense to Mr. Illogic.  He doesn’t want to hear it, so he is yelling, acting violently or running out the door in search of a drink, drugs, a sexual fling, or anything else to escape reality.
