Insanity: It's not so bad

Greetings! Salam! Bonjour and Goodbye! I offer my warmest of welcomes to the ponies and bronies whom graced me with their presence. I am about to explain something that's been bothering you grown men for quite some time now. You've probably asked yourself at one point in time; why do I like a show about friendship and magic and ponies? Why is it that grown 20 year old men like this show designated for little girls? It's simple really!

Your searching for something that you lost a long time ago; your innocence. No,no,no get your mind out of the gutters you dirty lot! I'm not talking about your sexual innocence! I'm talking about your wide-eyed, curious and positive about the world outlook. You look to My Little Pony because it offers what the cold harsh world took from you! And in abundance too! It tells you that hey! Maybe there is a little spot of good in this cold dark world!

Why am I telling you this? Because it makes no sense! Which in a way makes sense because this story is talking about how nothing makes sense and is a good thing! Okay so how do I tell you in the most logical sense what the true meaning of insanity is.......

Insanity is thinking outside the box. Take Lady Gaga for example; thinking outside box but also loved and adored by fans! She has been called an inspiration and a true artist! And why do you ask? Because she's being herself.

Oh! And here I am getting sidetracked again! Oh no but I'm not getting side tracked! Let's recap shall we? Right now I've told you on why you like MLP so much; because it reminds you of an innocence long lost. Why I told you this; because it makes no sense! And lastly! Why Lady Gaga is celebrated as a [ahem] true artist.

That wide eyed innocent you? That was the most creative you, that was the you that looked at things differently. That was the you that would play with that cardboard box for hours and hours on end! Because you thought outside of the proverbial box that is common knowledge and culture! It's the same with Lady Gaga! She thought of the most raw and pure form of....

Horseapples I'm getting off track again! It's so hard being the god of chaos and discord and the like. When you were young, you had yet to form cognitive thought, you experienced emotions in their rawest form; unfiltered and unadulterated by thought or moral. You see, human beings and pony beings are alike because they are sentient and highly intelligent beings.

Highly intelligent beings tend to be, as culturally defined; insane. They tend to adapt to their environment.

Lets say that you had to kill and eat babies for a living and this was the only way you survived. Now don't get all prissy this is purely hypothetical. If your not being honest with yourself you will say that no you wouldn't and you would rather starve than kill an innocent being.

I'll just tell you this; you must either have a really strong will or be really daring and brave to die of starvation. Face it; intelligent beings will adapt to their surroundings to live if only for themselves. If your being honest with your self both your intelligent and animalistic sense you would easily kill those babies and eat them. And you would come to enjoy it in a morbid sense.


So once intelligent human and pony beings start forming thoughts, some asinine moron stated; wow dudes! This killing of others is like wrong! We should like...get together and start smoking pot and start living in a fantasy land where we can live without killing anything. And thus, morality was born.

Morality is a set of thoughts and rules that guide the general seething masses of the world in their lives and philosophies. It states that one shall not kill for the thrill of it and not kill animals and yadayadayada you know the rest. Now throughout the ages people have come to adopt certain morals that they live by and that's all good and well except when your shoving it down peoples throats. That's right, i'm talking about religion.


ANYWAY, morality restricts thoughts and actions. How often have you found yourself looking at a woman's or man's behind and thinking; wow! How I would like to tap that! And then immediately found yourself thinking; no wait! That's dirty. Anyway you catch my drift I hope.

And now that we're done covering the basis of what restricts you, what form your innocence takes. I am now going to talk about what is the rawest form of insanity.

Imagination.

If you have an imagination your thought of as creative, you think and dream up whole worlds in your head. Whole dialogues between brave princesses and and noble knights. Heck the whole conversation on insanity can be based off of one thing and one thing only.

Perspective.

For example; take the Saw movies. A horrible series of films depicting torture and pain. Now flip it to the masterminds point of view. He was only trying to help a group of lost lambs form a bond through sharing the burdens of trials. This is basically how sane people view insane people. It's almost akin to how non-bronies see bronies.


Insanity is the perspective that your doing something that is viewed as grotesque or disgusting or generally doesn't appeal to them and you yourself have no problem of it! It's literally just you being you.


And now I will proceed to talk about why you should become insane. A wise man once told me that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting it to change. This is true in fact because how many of you are satisfied with your lives? How many of you take joy in eating, getting ready for work, working, clocking out, going home, watching tv or surfing the internet, and going to bed? A monotonous cycle such as this would wear away the very fabric and nature of the human soul as it cries out for release!

Human beings were made to constantly change, to shift personalities, to shift jobs, to shift around the world and move to different places. It is when we are acknowledging these instincts that tell us to move that we become truly human! Or in some cases truly ponies!

When you watch My Little Pony you watch it in awe! Your always kept at the edge of your chair waiting and watching with baited breath wondering; What's going to happen next? Is Pinkie going to break the fourth wall again? Is Twilight going to screw up a spell? Is Rarity going to break out in dramatic fashion? You find yourself most excited when you watch these events unfold, completely unaware of what's going to happen.


Moving along, I ask you this fellow bronies and ponies. How would you like to feel that rush of energy of not knowing what's going to happen next? For those of you who answer yes the answer is simple; become insane.

Now those of you who've stayed with me up until this point are now asking yourselves; but Discord! How will we become insane?

It's simple really. First you start viewing things from the opposite perspective. Anything that you plain dislike, view it from another angle. Say for example, you speed metal. Listen to a song all the way through with your eyes closed and imagine what it's like to become a metal head. Essentially what i'm saying is change. Adhere to your natural calling you and your kind have so desperately struggled to break away from and you will experience a freedom unlike any other!


And that concludes my presentation on why it is best you become insane. Any questions? Next Chapter: Influence and viewpoints Estimated time remaining: 30 Minutes
