    All humans are mentaly ill.Well sort of.Since there is no "correct" standard of mental fitness to which humans can measure themselves its dificult to know what is sane.

    Most people do or think things other find strange, in fact I have yet to meet anyone who does not do at least one thing I find strange, and I expect people would think the same about me.

    But the real problem is that humans are delusional.We believe or think things that arn't true.

    You have crinimals who justify what they do to others in their minds and won't admit they are wrong.Greedy Business men who reason that they are not harming anyone by their greedy ways.People going to auditions to be a pop star who think they can sing when they cant.People who follow the Jehovahs witness organisation no matter what.In fact how many of us can really admit to our flaws and weakness when we think we are doing a good job?That is the important part , when we think we are doing right or want something we shouldn't have and justify it , we are deluding ourselves.We are showing a sign of irrantionality in our judgment of our actions.

    Its hard to go through life without justifying what we do.Those who always think they are wrong tend to end up going mad anyway.

    But it seams to be a function of the brain to delude ourselves when we need too.The brain lies to us.This makes us act irrationaly and prevents us from considering the real facts.

    Well, i don't wanna hang w wierd people. So, i'm just gonna cut off everyone. That's right, i'm not having anything to do with anybody. I think my cat has some wierd habits too, so she is out too. To cure one or two of my own wierdnesses, as a last measure to remove all uncoolness from my life, i'm going down to the hospital to sign up for electroshock treatments. If that isn't successful, i'll try lobotomy next. So there!

    Hello Sleepy,

    I think that what you have described are also known as sins which are common to all of mankind. Namely, pride........greed........deceit. You are correct in saying that we are guilty of these things. I suppose that the difference is that what you refer to as mentally ill.......I refer to as sin. love, dj

    Sin? Now that's a delusional concept.

    Sounds like good old Benjiman Rush- a doctor and signer of the Constitution of the USA. His words were: The majority of mankind are madmen (insane). He advocated the "tranqualating chair" to control the masses of insane humans.

    Given the popularity of prozac and a mass of other drugs for treating ADD, ADHD, Bipolar-on and on I guess he got his wish....

    Hi again,

    All of those "delusions" above are the a result of a lack of love for one's neighbor, which is sin. IMHO. dj

    We are all created in Gods image so unless we each have at least 3 separate and distinct personalities, we are malfunctioning or...insane.

    Wait, I don't believe in the trinity. Scratch that.
