Are You Mad?

[Scythe13]

I have heard that hindsight is 20/20 vision.

When we are old, and we look back on our lives, that will tell us if we were mad or not. Or maybe even our children will look back and see us with their new-20/20-sight.

If nothing happens, then we are clearly all either delusional, or we are simply going through a time of uncertainty that our minds exaggerate. We then delve into this exaggeration and use it as a form of escapism. Like a bunch of nerds playing World of Warcraft, but running around the woods with bows and arrows. Harmless fun.

If something does happen, we are simply well prepared and vigilant people. Well done us.

IF something happens, but it happens after our time on this earth, we are seen as the doom-sellers of our generation, by the masses. There will be those that look at us as being advances and ahead of our time.

Personally, I am okay with believing it to be escapism. I enjoy it, and cause no harm to anyone. The challenge of becoming self sufficient is always good, and there is so much to learn that I never get bored of it.

Only hindsight will tell us if we're all a bit nuts, so for now, I am happy enjoying my 'escapism'. Best of all, if something does happen, at least I'll be able to escape haha.
