if insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly, then why is sanity doing the same thing everyday for your whole life?

Insanity is an unpredictable nature. Sanity is able to prove your coherence.

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine. Then they flap their wings at the last second. I can see
their dead weight just dropping like stones or small loaves of bread past my window all the time.
But unless I get up, walk across the room and peer down below, I don't see their last second curves
toward a horizontal flight. Now due to a construct in my mind that makes their falling and their flight
symbolic of my entire existence, it becomes important for me to get up and see their last second
curves toward flight. It's almost as if my life will fall unless I see their ascent.

ah, but plenty of technically insane people are perfectly coherent



“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”
Albert Einstein

perhaps "sanity" is just a less destructive form of what many people define as "insanity"?

were all insane, we all do the same thing every day and yet, many of us expect that there will be different occurrences

People are Shit.  When I'm In a crowd I think to myself "who left this shit all over the place."   I'm shit, you're shit, the world is shit, and if you're sitting there thinking "yes its true, everyone else is shit except me" then you're a double bacon shit with large fries Mr. shit face

its a good thing einstein was known for his nobel prize in psychiatry or your logic might not make that much sense
OH WAIT

Also like I said on facebook, "It's also talking about different things. In the first case, you're thinking of OCD, which means you're compelled to do the same thing every time. In the second case, you're not compelled to do things the same way every day, but it's stable if you do."
No one says it's sane to do the same shit every day, but it's stable.

stable until someone cracks and blows away half the people at their office
or kill their husband/wife
or kids
or other family
or friends
pets
random people on the street
themselves

doing a stable thing would NOT bring people to the list above, period
the "stable" lifestyle of the majority of the world actually breeds insanity


also as Liks said, sanity sucks
