The only difference between insanity and eccentricity is bank balance.
I am proud to be eccentric, it is when your head contains far too many ideas and they spill out of your mouth into the ears of the blinkered.
Oh yes, a question, is insanity relative or is it an absolute?

The word insanity does not clearly cover any particular person's past experiences and current metal state that leads them to outward actions that reveal some deficiency in a person. The best definition of insanity I've found so far bases insanity on the destruction of an environment that supports life - not just the environment like the one that greenpeace tries to protect, but one's social, spiritual, and personal mental environment. So, if one can objectively find basis for such a desire and actions that warrant that criteria, yes, insanity is an absolute.

I have to say that Truth is Relative, but Insanity is not. There is no alternative to Insanity. Once born it is set for life. Now Irrationality may be relative, but it is not really insanity.
Like the joke about the guy losing a wheel in front of a fenced off area of an insane asylum. He said what am I going to do now. One of the Inmates Hanging on the fence said, why don't you just take on of the lug nuts from each wheel and fix the problem.
The guy said hey good idea, But say! if you can think of things like that what are you doing in there?
The inmate said. I am in here because I am crazy not stupid.

Insanity is relative. :-) The insane are those who test the sanity of others... Those who proclaim to be sane are more fekked up than those of us admit to being insane. We all view sanity from a different point of view and we squeeze in to our own little ideas of what sane or insane is. Therefore, none of us are sane. Insanity is relative.
Those who behave differently than the status quo are considered insane. Those that are considered insane believe that those who deem themselves sane are more insane, perhaps because they're more likely to live within the societal boundaries lest they get accused of being insane. :-)
No one is really "normal" either. Hah! Some have said there's no such thing as normal, that it's just a setting on a clothes dryer. That's because everyone has their own little puny ideas of what normal is. Therefore "normal is also relative." :>
Btw, eccentric people are a bit off-centre, bizarre, and freakish... it doesn't make them more sane than the insane... Hah! Regardless of what label we give ourselves, we're still all fruitcakes. :p

Insanity is a term that is no longer used.
Instead mental health diagnoses are used. One major criteria is that the person's issues must interfere with the person's life. So yes, if you have enough money and resources to prevent issues from interfering with your life, then it is below the criteria for a diagnosis.

you ought to end nerve-racking approximately what the Bible says in case you certainly examine and learn it. in case you certainly examine and learn it, you will quickly come across that it contains many, many self-contradictions and statements that are merely no longer authentic. The Bible does *no longer* harmonize with itself internally. In different words, the classes are no longer consistent. After looking those self-contradictions and falsehoods there, the sole end you could come to is that the Bible is *no longer* "the notice of God." The contents of the Bible come from guy. additionally, to get a good greater useful know-how of what's occurring there, you could examine or watch extremely some the books and video clips via Joseph Campbell. ..

It's conditional, as the person who is insane, may not recognize it as such
