Well, I bet the meaning of insanity to almost everyone is: Insanity, craziness or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. In short, someone who is crazy.
But I found this book written by Paulo Coelho titled "Veronika Decides to Die". It's about a 24 -year -old girl, Veronika who seems to have everything, youth and beauty, boyfriends, a loving family and a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning she decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.
Veronika asked what being crazy meant.
Zedka, a lady also in the mental hospital who is kind of suffering depression, answered:
" Insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything what's going on around you incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understnad what language they speak there."
" We've all felt that."
" All of us one way or another, are insane."
