Technically, is someone insane if they...?!
Question:
Technically, is someone insane if they...?
have a 7 year old imaginary pet goldfish named Stuart Appleby?
Answers:
if sanity and insanity exist, how do we know them?
there is no definition for insanity. doctors may put someone in a nice white rubber room because they have decided they are insane, but maybe they are no more insane than you or i. Ofcourse this is generally for those who deviate from society's accepted norms. so maybe, if someone had an imaginary 7 year old imaginary pet goldfish named Stuart Appleby, someone may think they are insane. ofcourse another person may think they are entirely normal. especially if they have an imaginary bloodthirsty turkey called sparky who handles berettas surprisingly well.

try reading rosenhan's psychology study on sanity and insanity.
