Sanity. That small, seemingly innocuous word. The Oxford American dictionary Dictionary defines it as "the ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner". That sounds good, right? Well, apparently not.

I have recently come across quite a few people who claim to be "insane". What do they mean? Do they mean they lack "the ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner"? Many of these self-proclaimed Insanites (AKA Insanitaries :P) are nice friendly people, who can act normal and rational. So, what do they mean?

Please add a comment. Tell me if you are insane or sane. And give your reasons, too. Why are you (in)asane? I look forward to your responses.

I, for one, am sane (of sound mind; not mad or mentally ill. It's derived from the latin, 'sanus', meaning 'healthy'). And I hope to keep my sanity far into my life.
