I’m only half joking, maybe.
The other side of this being that there is no state of perfect sanity & we’re all utterly mad in a bunch of ways....sometimes meditation makes you more aware of this inescapable fact.

In practice sanity is often a social construct, a script we follow, which itself is its own kind of madness

I think that is considerable component, yes. Of course, I’m not denying the existence of actual psychiatric disorders and so on....and I’m also being quite silly about what is probably quite serious, but we’re really good at ignoring our inconsistencies & fixating social stories
