[Poll] Living a normal, fun life VS living on the verge of madness?

Which do you prefer and why:

Scenario one:

living a normal, fun, productive life. You have good friends, you have money, you have a partner. You enjoy normal things, like going out, drinking, eating...etc. You have a good Job, a good social life, and a good romantic life. You just couldn't be any happier.

Scenario two:

You are not crazy by any means, but you often find yourself on the verge of becoming one. You need to keep yourself in check, or else God knows what you may do. You are constantly looking for that other worldy thing, you are constantly looking for other things, things you mostly do not know.

I for one choose scenario two. Scenario one is great, but it gets boring quickly. Scenario 2 on the other hands, can be distructive if not kept in check. I'm curious to know how this poll is going to turn out. I know things are not seperabale like this, but choose the closest to you.

I will take scenario 1 minus the partner. I don't need no romance! :o More moneys for metestfactor888

Do you have any idea what kind of living hell being on the verge of madness might be?ZuluEcho14

Scenario 1. That's what it is for me anyways.

All the best experiences of my life have been when i strayed outside of my nomal social existence. If madness just means you haven't settled into a predictable way of life, it really sounds quite fun. If you think about it, every great and godlike person in history has been in our position, unknown quantities. They took it upon themselves to elevate their lives to a higher tier, and you can do the same.

I am a lazy person, i'd choose scenario one.

Well I live in reality #1, but my mind often drifts off into reality #2. Does that mean I'm living the best of both worlds?

Scenario 1, largely due to the fact that I think that I'm more related to scenario 2. No mental problems or anything, (maybe ADD) but just general inconsistency, lack of planning or foresight on anything in life and basically the overall lack of a routine. It's caused problems with my GPA, sleeping schedule and personal life. It sucks.

'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat. 'We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

'You must be," said the Cat. 'or you wouldn't have come here.'Pig and Pepper

Madness as with all things is best enjoyed in moderation.

When I was in my late teens reality #2 was all I really lived, but then I met my soon to be wife at the time and wanted to be a provider for the both of us. So I calmed down, basically did a 180, and now I'm living in reality #1. It does get boring, but you tend to have so much more in that reality. My wife knows this about me, and let's my crazy side come out every now and then without caring much. It helps keep me sane. If I had to be calm cool and collected all the time I would seriously loose my mind.

I'm pretty much perfectly content and at number 1 now. >_> Not sure I'd prefer, what, chaos? I did that for many years, it gets boring too.Jandurin

@ZuluEcho14 dunno man, I did not do it to feel the rush, I rather did it because the scenery was amazing, and no people were around. Also it felt weird, the storm and clouds, you know.GazaAli

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]hey gaza, i'm curious What exactly do you consider "madness"? Like, what is it you do or think after "Frasier has left the building"?GazaAli

Not necessarily an adrenaline junkie. If GazaAli wouldn't have gone to the sea during the storm then he wouldn't have the beautiful memories of the chaos that enveloped the sea at that time. Sometimes you need to go out on a limb to see / enjoythings that most people will never have the chance to. Throwing caution to the wind may seem like madness, but it's when some people feel most alive.

People think I'm a mad man so I'll just take number 2.

It isn't, that's what I've been arguing about.

Hmmm I don't know but some people don't get it well. Its not about what you do, it differs from person to person. Rather, its about the state of mind itself.GazaAli

I'll be the judge of that :!:

Jandurin ='s awesomely insane

Your post seems valid to me.

The state of mind strongly influences what I do. Hence my drive to change it.
