Sane Or Insane?
I ran across someone recently who I would have to say, their sanity is definitely questionable. Did you ever run across someone and they say or do something that is totally off the wall? Then you just stand there with this twisted look are your face thinking "Are they living on planet earth with you or are they living somewhere off in Mars?" It makes you really wonder about what goes through the minds of people when they doing something crazy.
This is just a thought, but it seems as though people who are lunatics, don't see themselves as lunatics. I guess that is part of what makes them irrational or lunatics in the first place. They see themselves as being a completely rational sane person and the people around them are at fault for anything that doesn't seem to go right or they just have unrealistic expectations. It's like they are looking through a tunnel and they are the only one seeing what they are seeing at the end of the tunnel. An irrational person doesn't see themselves as being irrational. They think they are the only one being rational and there is something wrong with the people around them.
The crazy part about dealing with someone crazy or irrational is you start to question your own logic or sanity for not seeing them as being an irrational person in the beginning. You even begin to question your take on the situation, because they truly believe their own irrational thoughts and you begin to question if maybe you missed something somewhere along the line or if you’re the crazy one. Then you begin to wonder if maybe you are one of the few sane people left on this planet earth and if maybe losing your sanity would help you cope with this insane world we live in and the people we co-exist on this planet with.
There's an old saying "You shouldn't judge another person until you have walked a mile in their shoes." With some people, I don't think it would make a difference if you walked a mile in their shoes, you will never understand their logic or the way they think. So, I guess the most logical thing to do is to not try and make sense out of something completely illogical or you might as well join them, because you will make yourself completely crazy trying to understand them.

Does It Ever Stop???
My youngest daughter is 10 and my son is 11. All they do is argue over everything possible. It is almost impossible for them to co-exist in same room together for more than five minutes without arguing. Is that ever going to change or is this my curse for having them so close together? When they were little they were really close to one another, almost as if they were twins. Now, it is a nightmare. They are constantly bickering. Everything is a competition for them. Even if you saw them walk down the sidewalk together, you would laugh. They try and see who can be the one to get in front of the other one.
The television, God help me. There are three large televisions with cable in the house and they each have one in their room they can watch movies on or play their gaming systems on. They still ague over who is going to watch t.v. where. There could be two other televisions with no one watching them and they will still argue over one television. They could have been in the room an hour ago, walked away to do something else and come back to the room to watch the television. By then, the other one is in their watching the television and they try and claim squatters rights. Even though, they have been off doing something else for the past hour.
Maybe parents have made a mistake by having multiple televisions in a house. Growing up, we only had one television for the entire family. As children, we knew how to entertain ourselves. Children now a days don't know how to entertain themselves unless they are sitting in front of the television either watching t.v. or playing their gaming system.
In the summer or when they are off on break, I take 2 or 3 hours a day where all the televisions have to be shut off and they have to be doing something else. Maybe I need to do that all year round.
This arguing has been going on since they were 6 and 7. Does it ever stop????
