Definitions

given some know-how or picking it up by observation, sane people make things go right. The insane remain ignorant intentionally or acquire know-how and make things go wrong. Insane acts are not unintentional or done out of ignorance. They are intentional, they are not "unknowing dramatizations." So around insane people things go wrong. One cannot tell the difference really between the sane and insane by behavior. One can tell the difference only by the product. The product of the sane is survival. The product of the insane is an overt act. As this is often masked by clever explanations it is not given the attention it deserves. The pretended good product of the insane turns out to be an overt act. (HCO PL 30 Dec 70)
