One is always considered mad, when one discovers something that others cannot grasp.
Man is almost mad-mad because he is seeking something which he has already got; mad because he's not aware of who he is; mad because he hopes, desires and then ultimately, feels frustrated. Frustration is bound to be there because you cannot find yourself by seeking; you are already there. The seeking has to stop, the search has to drop.
The fact is that those who do not see themselves but who see others, who fail to grasp of themselves but who grasp others, take possession of what others have but fail to possess themselves. they are attracted to what others enjoy but fail to find enjoyment in themselves.
Mad? Is one who has solved the secret of life to be considered mad?

Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man.
That others grasp what I have in mind seems unessential, at least as long as they have something else in theirs.
Something whose connection with human experience we cannot grasp is bound to be frightening.
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
My Mom and Dad always told me to not act on emotion, act on what is real. When you're mad don't do something wrong because you're mad.
All my life, people have asked me what I was so mad about. 'Why you so mad?' And I was never mad. I'm not mad, I just look mad.
There was always something. It's like with this one, there's always something that's mad that I look back on it and go, that's pretty amazing to say that I've done that or been there.
