I Got A Strange Idea This Morning.
A Stupid And Irrationally Unreal One, But A Unique One No Less.
I Think I'm Going To Use It In My Story Somehow.

The Idea Was:

What If Everyone Who Was Registered 'Insane' Or 'Mentally Ill' Was Merely
A Normal Human Evolving Beyond Our State Of Normality;
And The Government Had Created Hospitals To Stabilize Their Genetics To Avoid Something Going Beyond Us In The Food Chain, Or Heirarchy Of Organisms?
And The People Shunned By Society, And Locked In Asylums
Were Actually 'Superior' In A Sense, To Us?
Any Voices That They Hear Was Some Sort Of Weird Sixth Sense Developed By Their changes As They Surpassed Humanity, And Any Paranoia Was Hightened Senses Of Perception.

I Have A Strange Mind neutral

Or, What If Society Had A Change In Idea,
And Everyone Began To Behave Contrary To Their Opinions Of Normality.
If You Stayed The Same, Would You Become A Pariah Because You Were 'Insane'?

And Isn't Normality Only What A Group Of People Perceive It As?
If You Are Different From Everyone Around You, And They Drove You Out For Being Different, Would Going To A Place Where Society Has The Same Veiws As You Make You One Of The Very People Who Decided What Was 'Normal' Earlier?
And If So, Would That Mean That All The Other People Of The Different Society Are Abnormal?

I'm Overcomplicating Everything...
