Have you wondered that why insane is not called as "unsane"? The meaning of sane is 'free from mental disorders' or 'sound/healthy' as defined in the dictionary. In the same dictionary, insane is obviously defined as the opposite of sane; 'unsound' or 'have mental disorder'.
Then, I would like to ask for the definition of mental disorder as mental is mind and disorder means lacking organization or in confusion. Is this the right definition put forward to us? Then, it should be called as "unsane", should not it? Why insane?
I am reading a new book witten by Jodi Picoult recommended by Ms. Rachel Tan. HOUSERULES is about Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). He is hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others. However, like many kids with AS, he has a special focus on one subject - in his case, forensic analysis. One day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. All of the hallmark behaviors of OS, actually look a heck of a lot like guiltt to law enforcement personnel and hence he is accused of murder. Thus, his mother need to find evidence to prove her son innocence.
Some background information of AS; is one of the autism spectrum disorders - a range of psychological conditions that are characterised by abnormalities of social interaction, communication and imagination, and by restricted and repetitive interests and behaviour. Although there are many overlaps with other autistic conditions, people with AS generally have fewer problems with speaking, learning disabilities and are often of average, or above average, intelligence.
Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a form is austism and austism is classified as mental disorder in general. People with AS are mostly in order and clear at most of the time, then something is wrong in the dictionary / general definition, isnt it? Otherwise, should not it be called as "unsane" rather than insane.
I decided to put blogged my opinions as it is very interesting. I would think insane is not a disorder of sorts because of the word 'in'. Those who are dignosed as insane, as the matter of fact, they are much sound / healthy than us. The difference is that we, 'sane' people are 60% sound and those 'insane' are 100% sound.
The word and definition of 'sane' and 'insane' are created and put forward by people like us; 60% sound. Then, you are probably thinking that I am insane, isnt it? Logically and evidentially, what I am saying is 80% right. Take AS as an example and conparsion, they are basically purer and smarter than us so what is wrong with them? Their only problem is living in this polluted and complication world, so can it be counted as a disorder reasonably?
A newborn cries when he/she having a problem living in this polluted and complication world, are they counted as insane too? "IN" and "SANE" means that "Much saner than those who are SANE. That is why it is "Insane" not "outsane" or "unsane". Of course, there are people who are less than 40% sound, they should be called "Crazy" instead of Insane. The smartass who created the definition of insane is a unkind person who filled with hatred.
I adores Dixie Chicks because they are brave women who sing their heart out. As you can see, I used their song as my blog title. They are country girls and for that I envying them more because they get to befriend with kindness, peace, freedom and most importantly life. At the same time, I give thanks to be able to get exposed to nature, peace, kind, freedom and life in the recent trip with my dearest friends. I hope that I can have 2 friends who are brave and formed a band and does the same.
