Madness. I need to write with madness. It has been long. This diary of supposedly non-sense and possible madness has become mostly saneful non-sense.

And that is okay.

Its just another form of madness, after all.

What is madness, really?

Madness is that there is no madness. Just as the real horror is that there is no horror.

You cannot tell me if I am mad. I cannot tell you if you are mad. We might both be mad, after all. Or maybe just one of us, but everyone is at risk for madness, has the potential for madness, and there is no person who can act as judge.

No, no one person can act as judge, but a mob can.

A mobocracy will and does dictate what is and is not madness.

The rule of the majority is trusted to be right and good and sane.

But show me the majority, where is it?

A majority is made out of individuals. Each individual can be wrong.

1,000,000 people can't all be wrong? 1,000,000+ people can and are wrong. We may all be wrong at one thing ro another. An entire race can be wrong.

Simply because an idea is popular doesn't mean the idea is right.

It just means its popular.

The world just might be flat after all. The majority once said so. It just lost popularity, you know.
