Is The Hatter Really Mad?

A look into insanity.

Is The Hatter Really Mad?
Clip Art Kid

We've been taught of the Mad Hatter

through the books and chitter-chatter.

But what's the matter

with poor ol' Mad Hatter?

He's not similar to us,

but that doesn't make him puss.

Only that he's like you or me with a plus.

So shouldn't we reflect on us?

It seems like today, people are just copied and pasted.

And Einstein said that doing the same thing over again and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity.

Yet, Hatter is an original,

not a copy of another,

not a creature formed by society.

So if humans are so corrupted that we are all just copies of each other,

then aren't we insane?

And if we're insane, then we are mad.

And if we are mad,

then the Hatter is not mad at all.


We all believe that what we have come to believe is true, and anything that contrasts that view is wrong. This makes us view others with prejudice. People have a preconceived idea of what is normal, based off of societal norms. Is it the "crazy" or "abnormal" people who need to change, or do we need to humble ourselves and move?

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
