I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind.

I cannot express my views on various issues to everyone and everyday.Either, I will be kicked in my backside or be labelled mad.I was listening to that tune by Gnarls Barkley – Crazy and i thought this is a word which deserves some deep thinking.Phew ! I haven’t lost my mind yet.
I have been pondering over the word “crazy” for a while simply to analyze whether the word crazy really means crazy or is it the word normal which means crazy. I learnt that anything (obviously from a layman’s angle) that is not normal means insane or crazy or even mad.Anything which deviates from the norms of society means crazy.But, I believe its high time for individuals to question the norms of society and stop abusing the word crazy.For example , Galileo Galilei who espoused the theory of copernicanism that is in brief , the earth revolves around the sun was considered to be heresy (views going against the christian church) at that time.The whole world thought Galileo was crazy.A few years later,the world lost its mind except Galileo.
