This is the first time I've heard anyone approach the issue of mental illness in this way, and I'm so relieved to know that I'm not alone in seeing the supposed 'victims' as the solution. The world IS insane, caught up in ego, materialism and everything else that has little substance, depth or permanency. Those things that we don't understand we respond to with fear. I confess, I don't understand our society. I don't understand the need for gain at the cost of others. I don't understand the need for war. Or for cruel comments passed off as jokes. Or the casual way people seem to approach relationships. None of this makes any sense to me, and I've long suspected that my supposed insanity is really sanity!! That incredible sensitivity that drives people to the brink, or to substance abuse, or self destructive behaviour, remains unrecognised as a potential source of learning, growth and healing. This sensitivity is seen as the province of the 'victim' and its possible benefits to society are ignored while pharmaceutical companies make their profits with their band aid solutions.

Thanks very much for your interest in the website. Very much agree with yuor comments.Think that each individual has the opportunity to embrace the things they are not happy with. That once they do this they can gain the information that will bring them strength. I believe that such information changes victims into healers and teachers.
