We must be crazy to think they are crazy

"When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
If there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me"

A few days a go I came across a mentally challenged person. At least challenged from this side of sanity.
For all I know she probably thinks we all are raving mad.And can't understand why we all kept on staring  at her and her baby as they rummaged through the rubbish piled up on the side of the main road.Hmm, garbage piled up by the side of the road in the very heart of the business district,cannot be the act of sane and mentally agile people or can it?

If our brothers and sisters who have-kolloed- came from a sane society, they wouldn't end up walking distances all around our city.I mean some world records may have been broken by these folks for long distance walking. So you cannot but ask yourself, who really is crazy? Us or them? They've liberated themselves from every care except to sleep,eat, wake up and occasionally indulge their basic instincts.Who cares if they have to get breakfast from your garbage;heck it's totally free.Besides a few days ago-Friday the 8th to be precise- I saw on travel channel  this group that goes around New York City picking garbage and actually eating what they salvage.So what the heck....?

We are what we are,someone ought to take better care of these our liberated ones, because as it is we are doing no better than they are in this dog-eat-dog society of ours. Or better still we hand control over to them.
