I wouldn't classify having OCD as a postive response, but this is definitely true. If society weren't so germy, i wouldn't have it! haha!! great thought! good luck!

Hi Rian
The inverse of this quote is that anyone who hasn't been affected by society, is unhealthy
. I think everybody has a touch of insanity.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

HA! So I WAS right! They all said I was crazy, but in fact I was completely healthy!!!!! Maybe now the men in white coats will give me back my monkey and my marshmallow-turner-into ray gun of penultimate doom!

Thanks
Yes, those who aren't mentally ill are really the sick ones. I certainly hope you get your monkey and ray gun back.

Way true. I need to remember that one... who said it?

As Far As I Know
I am the author of that quote. I came up with it in 2000. I'm bipolar and I have been exposed to the mental health system most of my life. I came to realize that everyone I've met have had mental problems at one time or another, thus the quote was born.

I hope to God that this wins.
It's the best one so far.
It's actually true, and still has the capability of causing laughter.
I mean, non sadistic type laughter.
The kind that isn't laughing at death or something twisted.
Kudos to you if you wrote this yourself.
If not- excellent choice.

Thanks Ash.
I'm very pleased that you like my quote and that you feel it is the best in the contest so far. It is original as far as I know. I made it up about 7 years ago. Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate it.

Yeah I agree with Kari. All of us are most likely halfway mental in some way lol. Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!

Thanks
Thanks for hosting this contest and for reading, commenting, and all the applause. I appreciate it. I'm very pleased that you like my quote. It also tends to suggest that those who aren't a little crazy are probably sick.
I hope you have many good entries and much fun.

lol this was good...what is normal anyway? I think inside almost all of us are halfway mental somewhere lmao good job and the best of luck to you in the contest!

This is very true!!! We all have our moments where we loose track of reality, due to the society we live in. A very profound thought indeed.

Thanks
Thanks for reading, commenting and applauding my one liner. I was brilliant that day. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen that often. I hope that the contest host likes it.

I'm sure they will!
You know, I get days like that too, where everything I write comes out great the first time! LOL Then it goes back to normal, and I cant string a sentence together for days! LOL

This made me chuckle. Very insightful, and at the same time, very ironic. Great quote!

Thanks
Thanks for reading my little quote. I'm very glad that you like it. Thanks also for the applause. I think this quote implies that those who are not mentally ill sometimes are not healthy. Anyway, there is lot of confusion in society and picking one's way through it is tough.

lol!!! good point....
isnt it that if you say "i'm crazy" you're not? i dont know...but you're right, some people go mental to get away from the rest of the world.
great job! and good luck! -

Thanks
I like to think of it as if one is not mentally ill sometimes, then one is really sick. There is a lot about society to drive one bonkers. Thanks for reading my quote and for commenting. I really appreciate it.

Hahaha, nice one! Made me think though… Because society can be sick at times, the whole thing with advance technology (e.g. which will one day replace us, etc.), and our environment deteriorating, makes it very true. Maybe if we all had mental illness’s society would seem like a much saner place! (If that makes any sense at all) Good message, thanks for the great read!

Thanks for checking out this quote, commenting and applauding. I really appreciate it. The pressures of just being a human being, the exposure to society, and just trying to understand oneself is enough to make all of us a bit strange in places.

Thanks
Thanks for reading and commenting. People kept telling me that I was crazy and I realized that I was about as sane as anyone. The thought just came to me.
