A clear and complete insight into the nature of madness, a correct and distinct conception of what constitutes the difference between the sane and the insane, has, as far as I know, not as yet been found

Schopenhauer writes:

It has often been remarked that there is a side at which genius and madness touch, and even pass over into each other, and indeed poetical inspiration has been called a kind of madness: amabilis insania , Horace calls it.

I personally think everyone here has a good amount of genius in them. In the article the problem is basically the memory. We can understand what is going on presently fine.

I am mad, after having lived through the crazy narrative of schizophrenia. It made me somewhat religious, but otherwise I would have been better off sane.
