We're all Crazy, and We all have Split Personalities, to Some Degree

   It's been, what, 37 years since Alice Cooper came out with wisdom for the world with the release of, "Inmates (We're All Crazy)."
   Nope. I looked up the lyrics, and rather than he singing about how everyone in the world is a little bit crazy, he seems to be just singing about how he and his friends are all crazy.
   I take a quick look at Quiet Riot's "Mama We're all Crazee Now," and it seems to be the same. So with Joan Jett's, "We're all Crazy Now."
   So, perhaps none of the rock stars back in those days, after all, delivered this truth to the world: Every person in the world is a little bit crazy. Everyone is a little delusional, and paranoid. We all run in fear when there is nothing to run from. Our minds all freeze up, at times, when under pressure.
   We all "freak out."
   Tonight, as I checked in on someone crazy, I took the thought a little further. Not only are we all crazy, but we all might have split personalities.
   To an extent. Just a little. As I thought about it, I reflected on how we might swing from one set of standards in some moments, to another set of emotions and standards in another. A lot of the time, it depends on who we are with. You know the saying of how someone brings out the best in you? Well, maybe there's hidden wisdom in that old saying. Some people bring out one part of us, and we act one way when we are with them, and then other people bring out other things in us, and we act differently when we are with them. I don't doubt it.
   We're all just a little bit crazy, and, we all just have split personalities, in a way.
