Yes. But crazy is hard to diagnose.
The thread is money or happiness. Looks like unhappy is a condition regardless of money. Like I said of my old girlfriend… She carried around her own personal cloud.
Unhappiness come from having unfulfilled expectations. Lower your expectations, one would be more happy (or less unhappy). Having said that, can human still live without expectations? I defer the answer to the biologist.
Regardless of how unhappy we are, normal people won’t commit suicide. Many coping mechanisms would kick in to help alleviate the feeling. Happiness is a state of the emotion. Suicide is a sickness.
Logical but incorrect. Crazy people aren’t logical. Depression makes you crazy. Drugs and other circumstances can make you do crazy things even if you were normal
My poor mother in law is going crazy from Parkinson’s disease. You never know what your fate will be.
Most can’t handle money either. I personally think the biggest problem today is most people can’t handle change of any kind.
The fast pace of modern living is making more and more crazy. The break down of traditional family life since the 60s has created more crazy people than in all of modern history. Society is falling apart as everyone wants to exercise their individual freedom at everyone else’s expense.
Parkinson’s disease creates hallucinations that make you crazy and possibly dangerous. Alzheimer’s just makes you into a vegetable. Hard on your loved ones. But you just slip into oblivion unaware of how awful it is.
I thought Alzheimer’s is the disease that turns you into an evil little kid. You say mean things to people and hit them for whatever reason. Maybe I got it mixed up with Parkinson’s…
I agree on the family unit. I saw a stat that 85% of prisoners grew up without their father in the home. That’s not just random coincidence.
I knew if I was ever arrested the consequences at home would be far worse than the police. Kids need that sort of check and balance in their life. The legal system is way too soft on kids, and people are pushing for it to get even softer. Seattle started building a new youth jail. Now they’ve stopped because of protesters. People think kids shouldn’t be put in jail, so we don’t need a youth jail. You combine that attitude with weak parenting at home, and it’s a disaster. These kids grow up with zero consequences to their actions, and we act confused that they progress to worse crimes as they get older. I have no clue what these people are thinking.
There was a huge push under Obama to stop schools from calling the police. They didn’t want kids to get criminal records, and they thought calling the police unfairly targeted minorities. You see the end result when kids who should have been in jail end up shooting up a school. This whole decriminalization trend is going to end poorly, and it’ll end poorly for the law-abiding citizens.
I can see the rationale for decriminalization. All the taxpayers’ money will not be enough to support such bloated prison system. Or, we can make the prison system very minimalist…
Instead of releasing prisoners and not putting misdemeanor crime in jail. Learn from singapore
