Mysterious Connotations of Insanity

Dearest Rym,

Again I delve into the realm of linguistics to inform the
population that a word doesn't have all the romantic
wonderfulness that they would like it to. Today, I
seek to rob the word "insanity" of its previous
jovial, comic, and mind freeing connotations. I simply state here
that insanity actually means this:

The condition of being insane
mental illness or disorder. such
unsoundness of mind as affects legal responsibility or capacity.
Extreem folly, senselessness
foolhardiness.

And to expound, insane:

mentally unsound or deranged
demented
mad. of, characteristic of,
or for mentally deranged persons. utterly senseless, irrational.

And I suppose I might recieve a response to this post in that
you will try and convince me that you are, in fact, insane.
Taking the example of your previous posts, you will most
likely employ logic and reason to assist you in this task.
The fact that your mind can even attempt to formulate
arguements using reason is and arguement against your
insanity.

Attempting to humbly enlighten,
Augur Fetzer
