Every sane individual must ask themselves the question: am I insane? To fail to account for one’s sanity is to assume it, and to assume it, only leads to making out that one may be sane, when, in fact, one is not, or vice versa. To be sure, there are degrees of sanity, one may be more or less sane or insane, as the case may be, and determining whereupon the spectrum of sanity one stands is as essential in this discussion as discovering the root or cause as well as the byproduct and result of one’s sanity–or insanity, as it may be. Now, not many are so equipped with the mental wherewithal by which to determine their own sanity–or insanity–but neither should one entrust themselves into the care of the judgment of another, as the other one may themselves be insane–or sane, as it may be. Those who believe themselves to be suitably and aptly equipped to determine the state of their own sanity/insanity must first undergo a self-evaluation wherein they ought to ask themselves some very rigorous, though rudimentary, questions, such as the following: What is five and five? What have I had for breakfast the last couple of weeks or so? If I were to have been born a second before the second in which I was born, but not a second before the second before which I was born, would I still be of the same mind as I am now? Such inquiries are of such a magnitudinous nature as to be too large and lofty for the mind to grasp in a single sitting–indeed, to truly grasp such, as to have a notion of what “five and five” is in fact, or to recollect something so trivial as what one has eaten for breakfast some two weeks in a row, or to be able to calculate the mind of which one would be had they been born at some time prior to but not prior to the time at which they were born, is to indicate that one is truly and absolutely of a mind of some kind other than that which is now endeavored to know. Whether that one is sane or insane is a question only that individual should know the answer to, as we are not privy to the private thoughts of the mind of another, even if they be splayed wide across some page, inscribed with the ink of a pen or the stroke of a key. Thus, once one has completed the aforementioned suggested regime of inquiry, they ought to at once denounce ever having endeavored to endeavor on such a project, lest someone begin to question their sanity.
