in today's society we use phrases like crazy way too much, but can crazy be a good thing?

Depends if you mean "serious crazy", (i.e bi-polar, depression, schizophrenia) or just stigma of being "weird".
Stephen Fry is bi-polar and he said, if given the choice, he would rather remain bi-polar because he feels that's when he's at his most creative.
As for just being weird, well, at least you won't have annoying people trying to talk to you....

Crazy is using continual behavior, and each time you do something you expect a different outcome. For example: Run full steam head first into a metal door. A sane person will only have to do this once to realize that it hurts, a crazy person will have to repeat this several times before they figure it out.

Crazy is a word used to improperly label anything that's not normal or different which is not actually crazy. Crazy used correctly is a action that is not normal and done with knowing it is outside a regular thought or action. being outside the norm of society. it can be shaded to be good if it will suit a situation

Sure. I'll say something like "thats crazy" or "crazy sh*t" haha
I think there are a lot of phrases these days that have more than one meaning.
I think it can be good. Depending on how its said!?

well ive heard a lot of really talented people (composers, writers, rulers, etc.) went crazy especially by the end of their lives
so craziness in some cases is kind of like a side effect of genius, this can be said
usually, though, even if it is a side effect of genius, craziness would probably interfere greatly with the life of the person & those around him/her especially
on the other hand, we sometimes say "crazy" about someone who is just a little bit eccentric (not truly mentally ill) & in this case its of course totally ok to be "crazy"

To me crazy means like a bit mad but perfectly harmless. That sort of crazy is definiately a good thing and it can be a fun from everyday people. But the word itself in a dictionary means like mentally deranged and insane. I guess maybe that is not such a good thing as it can be dangerous??

Why be ordinary in a crazy world? As long as you're are mentally stable, I don't think crazy is necessarily a bad thing. Have a happy and safe holiday season!

Shucks all of the Human race is crazy in someway or another. I noticed, when I pretend like I am crazy folks don't mess with me.

If you look at what passes for sanity crazy starts to look pretty good.
