The primary reason “they” call you crazy is because you’re an independent thinker. The people, through both programming and natural inclination, have been conditioned to think in lockstep. They use the safety of the group to protect them from a world that they both fear, and don’t understand. They also use group-thinkas a hedge against their feelings of insecurity. The group and the people share a symbiotic relationship – the people help to reinforce the attitudes that the group wants to project, and in return, the group validates each member’s craving for a sense of self-esteem. So when members of the group runs into somebody like yourself, who’s willing to navigate the world on your own terms, and without the blessing of the group, people with lesser courage think you’re crazy. So it’s really not that complicated.

Peace to Darryl James for being bold enough to stand on his obvious conviction that apparently lead to his writing this bold and provacative opinion.
