Day of judgement

Hey ho from the land of insane nothingnness...what is insanity.
To claim one is sane suggests that one knows insanity from which to distinguish sanity. By logic there are two ways in which one might find out about insanity: through experience or from a friend. Now if it is the former then it is obvious that the person was insane at some point and so could still be classed as insane. If it was the latter however, then it creates a problem. However at some point there must have already been experience for the concept of insanity to exist, else twould be nothing more than a myth. Therefore at some point an insane man must have spoken from experience and someone must have listened. But the very idea of listening and going by the words of a confessed insane person would seem insane and so consequently the chain of insaity would lead back to the person in question.
Ergo, the claim of sanity by oneself, implies insanity. Hence there is a contradiction.

Anyway..just a thought. nothing mush has happened here at Uni. Went to see a play on friday and a film tonight which was fun. tomorrow is my biiiig essay hand-back day. Arrrrghhhhhh.

Thought for the Day: If someone told you they were lying-would you believe them?
