insane

the definition of insanity

i repeat the mantra over and over

"doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"

By trade I am an engineer

I repeat the same experiment

I get the same result

Aside from being an engineer, I am a human

I am a human who is not insane

depending on who you ask

my grandma might say I am

my therapist would say that I am not

Mental illness has a stigma like that

mania is a unique of insanity

yes, i said insanity

people who are bipolar are not insane

but the symptoms we have are crazy to me

My definition of insanity is different

it is spending all my money impulsively

going out for a drive in a place i know nothing about

gambling my life savings in vegas

starting a novel every few months

having a new business venture weekly

deciding, as someone who cannot run a mile, that I will run a marathon right now

I do follow the Einstein definition of insanity

i try to not spend all my money impulsivley

i try to prevent drives in strange places

i tend to avoid gambling my money away in vegas

i try to finish the novels i start

i wonder if maybe this business venture is the one

i do not run the marathon
