The rate at which there are some happenstances that takes the sanity out of man is alarming and when such happens, it can only take the grace of God for that individual not to cross the line to the dark side.
Insanity is not only about going deranged on the streets half naked or looking really dirty and smelly.

Insanity leaves even the strongest of men disoriented and without a focal point to proceed in a sane clime.
Why do men go insane?
Why do men and women go crazy and why does a good looking well educated/trained person get derailed from the rails of sanity into insanity?
In this part of our world, insanity is usually associated or made o be associated with diabolical stuffs. You get to hear stories of people whose family members used witchcraft or some voodoo swings to make mad.
Some are even said to have been used for rituals and the story gets really scary and worrisome when they are being told.
I think insanity is not just about a diabolical push or some sorcery or voodoo but more about the confused state we find ourselves in a more confusing world where even one's closest friend will make them believe that white is grey and grey doesn't exist.
When the world is filled with disturbing situations where confusion is part and parcel of what we do and how we live, sanity often gets distorted and makes our scope of understanding more and more unclear.
Depression and insanity.
"Depression is feelings of severe despondency and dejection. It is a metal disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life."
Depression creeps into a man's life by reason of how his mental state is hacked, tagged and ripped by situations which are mostly out to destroy him.
You would never know you are depressed until you fall out of the wagon into the pits of insanity.
Life is hard, confusing and distracting with huge difficulties trailing us and when the mental state of a man's mind is not in play to get the harsh realities in check, depression sets in and if not checked insanity or a state of suicide which is just what many opt for.
Up to you to care for you
Take care of yourself and do not allow the problems you se make you forget that there is more to life than wasting it not doing better and not fighting to overcome the challenges life presents.
There is a thin line between sanity and insanity and with the confusion that is life, sliding over the line from the sane to the insane is just easy.
