The Method in Madness?
I’ve heard that there is a method in madness. Is there? They say that there’s a pattern to it, a framework. Once you know it, the madness becomes understandable, even predictable. Well, the more I think about it, the more madness I see. I may write about it, paint it or go around the world trying to make sense of it. What do I find? The madness is still there. Running through my veins. Questioning me, teasing me, dodging my searching eyes. Do I remove this madness from me or myself from this madness? But without me there IS no madness. Then I wonder, what would I do without this madness? What meaning would I stand on? I don’t think there is much more to life than that. The madness, the method, then the madness again, the search, the struggle through the darkness, the hope of light. Aren’t we all tunnelling through life. I don’t mind being a miner, tunnelling with a torchlight, risking my life to find something precious. For all you know I may find a diamond.. ok, even iron ore would do. It’ll make me rich. Give me wings. It’s precious, this madness. Embrace it. That’s my plan. I’m gonna live with it. I hope it works out for us.

Very true...madness is the counter for meaning, n cant exist without meaning, meaning is the logic ppl apply to understand the madness as to define their thoughts putting them into categories of madness so as to differentiate between one another... basically evry1 is mad, some just dont know it yet ...hehe
. madness madness madness..no life without it..its the essence of life... amazingly penned...!.
More than methodical, madness can be identified to be categorical. Identifying a pattern in madness is madness in itself. Its also a limiting factor, to an extent that if it exceeds normal, one becomes insane.

I have a theory, not entirely my own of course.. Madness is past impressions. Those affecting the soul. Strong ones. Ones that are hard to let go. Ones that we dont even know, let alone remember, but yet operate out of 'em as if they are true even in today's context.. And Im not talking bout childhood memories.. talking beyond. Probably madness could be the weird equation of our feelings, thoughts and logic to today's context, which would not quite match up, as the reactions and responses go a lot beyond than what we can comprehend..
But anyway.. :)
A very engaging write.. :)
Keep writing!
