Madness. Its the only virtue that can save you from all the madness going on in the world. If you are mad, you don't care about what the world is thinking, doing or saying. Madness. The virtue that only a few people can have. The virtue of always being lost into one person, and that one person is Yourself. :)
Going where you want, doing what you wish to, living life as you wish, eating as much as you want to, not how much your tummy can bear..sleeping as much as your heart likes, not your eyes.. Sing when you want, on the road, in the class, in the office, Dance in the rain, on the streets, in the bathroom, and you'll see what madness can do to your long-ago-dozed-off senses. It is one of the very few things that bring us closer to our soul. Remember when we were a kid, we couldn't understand the simplest of things. Our parents' friends used to come and ask us if we remembered them..and we looked puzzled half the time :) and used to remember only a few people,, only those who were the closest to our heart, those who made us the happiest the last time they met us, without caring about how it felt to those we forgot. This, if one can continue after growing up as they say, can make us the happiest people.
Getting happy with the small gifts of life, meeting someone after years, making a bag out of your old pair of jeans, feeling cold refreshing raindrops on face, waiting for someone behind the door to scare them when they come, closing your eyes and listening to slow soothing music, watching the rain from your window with a cup of hot coffee in hand, waiting for a friend in a dark room with a birthday cake, screaming like crazy watching a horror movie or crying while watching a romantic one, shopping as if this is the last weekend you've gotten to spend, painting ruining the canvas with whatever silly comes to your mind....
This is something usually we do and forget. We don't even notice that the happiness these small crazy things give to us is what makes us the person we are!
Ever noticed the difference a little salt makes to a dish? Whatever good oils, spices, herbs you put into it, it is always incomplete without that one pinch of salt! Craziness is that one pinch of salt. And without this little hint of salt, life is incomplete. But for sure one thing has to be remembered, even too much of salt can ruin the food :) We have choices. We can eat tasteless food or enjoy the perfect mix of everything or ruin everything. We only live once and if this one life is lived all plain straight and smooth, there's no problem.The only thing is that going all smooth and normal, sometimes we don't like even a movie without some loud special effects. Then imagine how life would be without the stupidities and the are-you-nuts stuff??
Stop worrying. Sometimes jumping down from the staircase and falling IS fun! Sometimes playing "eeny meeny miny moe" with a kid can be more interesting than the weekend party, stealing a colleague's lunch can be more fun that it was in school, fighting with a sibling, slapping a friend, sleeping in mum's lap, shouting and singing loudly in the car and driving zig zag. All of this is crazy. But all of this is OKAY. Just forget what's happening around you, who's your's and who's not, who's good who's bad what's new what's old..just get it over with and breath! Just do it once in a while and you will be a completely new person! Don't trust me? Check it up with the eeny meeny miny moe :)
