The home of madness

The home of madness cannot be the home of reason.

Yet it is easy to leave the home of madness if you see reason.

You do not leave insanity by going somewhere else.

You leave it simply by accepting reason where madness was.

Madness and reason see the same things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently.

Madness is an attack on reason that drives it out of mind, and takes its place.

Reason does not attack, but takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the choice of the insane to listen to it.

But the insane know not their will, for they believe they see the body, and let their madness tell them it is real.

Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would defend the body against your reason, you will not understand the body or yourself.
