Insanity

We talked about insanity and what it means yesterday, and I think it's kind of funny. The word "insanity," that is. If you think about it, it's kind of hard to define what insanity really is. For example, one definition was repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. Well, in my opinion, I see that as determination. Isn't that the whole point of practicing for a sport? You repeat the same action over and over, or the same drill over and over, hoping to improve yourself by doing so.  If we go by this definition, then a lot of us must be insane.

The most humorous definition, however, is the one that said that a person who acts "out of the norm" is considered insane. If that's the case, throw me in the looney bin, because I don't think of myself as "normal." Then again, I don't think anyone is normal. I literally just looked up a couple of definitions of normal, and all of them are all...well....boring. Various words continuously pop-up: standard, regular, average, common, ect. Who wants to be average or common? Part of the reason we take AP English is so we can all rise above that. I don't want to be an average writer. I want to be an outstanding writer.

Does this make us all insane? Yeah, it probably does.
