The Realm of Madness


"Madness is like gravity - all it requires is a little push and the rest is taken care of."

These very words were uttered by the critically acclaimed 'Joker' played by the late Heath Ledger in the blockbuster movie "The Dark Knight".
There is a lot of truth hidden in these words. Worthy of an oscar....
Madness is independent of origin, without any purpose. It feeds on minds just for the pleasure of seeing them twitch and twirl under its control.
Noone tell madness what to do, it is a spirit free of all bonds. Our own thoughts are the most precious to us. When it is manipulated and shown a direction not agreeable to us, madness is born.
Scores of psycho killers, madmen have been born not evil, but a twist of fate caused madness to burn like the fires of heptaethus's forges, in their eyes.
Madness knows no boundaries, it plays by no rules. The biggest arch rival of madness is purity. The purity and goodness that exists in this world is the only power that can contrast madness and make it obsolete. Madness is an evil that keeps this world in a balance. Respected individuals are also no strangers to madness.
It is out there, everywhere, beckoning to innocents. The unfortunates who embrace it fade into the realm of madness, only to be engulfed by the everspreading oblivion...

this peice is my favourite chotu

our own mind is really very precarious to us. the cyclical patterns of anger, pain, frustration and transient happiness that consumes us day and night is but evidence of our lack of direction don't you think? that is what makes it vulnerable to manipulation. what is your opinion...is what we call "madness" just the loss of destination within ourselves being manifested in the physical world?
