Comments on: Thoughts on Insanity http://www.minstrelofjesus.com/blog/2007/11/30/thoughts-on-insanity/ Me and my blog. And various other thoughts. Sometimes.

By the second definition, however, matters become somewhat less clear. You say that you "would not want to eat something that would stop [you] from getting hungry forever." Why is this? Perhaps you enjoy food - the taste, the texture, and so forth. Perhaps you simply appreciate having an insistent reminder that you need sustenance (much like a fuel meter on a car). Now, let's see if I can change your mind. Consider if we could create something (let's say a food) that you could eat once, and it would nourish you for the rest of your life, remove the feeling of hunger, but not restrict you from eating anything you'd like. Would that be enough? or... you know... are you kway-zie? Ah, very true - by the first definition we have to expect to never be hungry again to be classified as insane.

Now, let’s see if I can change your mind.

Would that be enough?

or… you know… are you kway-zie?

Most of us know that we will eventually be hungry again, and that eating will satisfy that hunger for a short period of time. I know that personally I would not want to eat something that would stop me from getting hungry forever. Thank you for proving that, at least in this, I am NOT insane!
