The idea that all the people locked up in mental hospitals are sane while all the people walking about are mad is merely a literary cliche, put about by people who should be locked up. I assure you there is not much in it. Taken as a whole, the sane are out there the sick are in here. For example you are in here because you have delusions that sane people are put in mental hospitals.

I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One writes because one loves writing, really.

Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.

It takes character to withstand the rigours of indolence.

I'm offended by things and take pathetic little stands against them.

If rationality were the criterion for things being allowed to exist, the world would be one gigantic field of soya beans!

If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
