Madness and Sanity

Crazy bitch, psycho, lunatic among others. These are the things that women in our society are so easily labeled. A burst of emotion, especially in connection with a lover, is almost immediatley deemed an act of lunacy, where she becomes incapable of reason and prone to acts of irrationality. These leaps of judgement are detrimental and pervasive. Both sexes are guilty of committing them. These man-on-woman, and woman-on-woman trespasses have become a common occurrence. Men are socalized to not be emotional, therefore their own emotions are discounted and they are forced to eschew emotion. But, we all experience the same fluctuations of emotion. Fluctuations that are sometimes seen as the framework of madness. The antithesis of sanity. But truly, madness and sanity are relative. Interlaced with each other on the loom of life, some fibers alternately rising above others creating an undulation of clarity and despair. All humans fall into the fabric of the loom, woven into its ascendancy, grasping at threads of thought and time.
