The challenge of a two point try is not all that risky if there is time still to make more points. I would like to take the time to try to explain the similarities and differences between insanity and fate.
Fate is what is going to happen to us because of our actions but is thought to be out of our control for being predetermined. Insanity is the consequence of having a mental disorder that is out of our control by no fault of our own because it is innate or societal. An insane person is not responsible for being insane but everybody must take responsibility for their fate.
When insanity becomes a person’s fate the severity of their mental disorder is the culprit, not their actions. Insanity is usually not a choice unless it is an action that is questionable, having the potential to alter one’s fate.
A person struggles with the consequences of being insane but they do not struggle with their fate because they don’t know what that fate will be until it happens or until it results in death, in which case the struggle would be over.
People can’t deny their fate nor can they prove what it will be. Fate is what it is, as it is happening, after we’ve made our choices.
Nobody knows all of what constitutes insanity. Insanity is never inevitable. It is a gradual process that can be adjusted for its severity if the individual is aware of the consequences before it changes their fate for good.
To me, insanity does not have the intent of causing confusion for the insane, at first, but everybody else confuses them into severity.
Insanity could be the evidence for dreams being the source of transparency between the mental landscape of seeing and believing and the physical hardship of feeling and living. Each one of us dream but the transparency between dreams and reality is mostly blurred. There is some distinction between the slight possibility of being able to manipulate a dream before waking up and to seal your own fate. A person can manipulate the inevitable but barely can they manipulate the illusive, if at all.
Insanity is a window into the soul where observers with a dark heart can see a light of hope that is out of their reach. People fear insanity because they see their own vulnerability when they peek into that window with intrigue. It is a sad turn of events when the resentful person puts the sufferer on display making the insane person resent themselves.
I believe that fate is not predestined to the extent that when we are born our lives are already mapped out. We have the ability to start over with good intentions. The same may be true for insanity if the insane can once again make choices that alter their fate. If not, their fate has been sealed for good.
