Sisi_Kill: How do you suppose mad people view sane people....walking around, their faces contorted in different expressions as they think and try to juggle their everyday worries. .. something a mad person doesn't have to worry about. To them these people making a mad dash all over the place as they try to get things done must be a funny sight.

So the next time you look at a mad man and feel sorry for him, just remember he is not the one all suited up in 90 degree heat, ready to jump on a crowded bus to attend a meeting, he hope will be the making of him, with a big man who may or may not answer him today.

ACM10: The difference between laughter and madness is "STIMULUS". Stimulus must precede a normal laugh, but madman laughs both in the presence and absence of stimulus.

Nickydrake: Anyone who has read Anton Chekhov's Ward 6 will understand how little laughter has got to do with madness. In fact, i should think that the most bizarre and fearful form of madness is that which is without mirth.

The laughing lunatic exists in utopian euphoria. He sees no need for any concern. The world, to him, is just as it should be; free of cares, free of thought itself.

Then there is the more terrible shade of madness. The subject is bound in dystopian darkness. His mind is a cinema of horrors. He is subdued and sorrowful in his brightest moments, and other times he is dragged deep down into inconsolable depression. He engages in thought in his own demented way, and with an expression of deep puzzlement asks utterly meaningless questions. He frowns. Sometimes he sobs. But he NEVER laughs.

Thank you sir for the brief and incisive education, I shall look for the book, accept my respects

charlsecy4:

Who told you there's no stimulus for a mad person to laugh? Stimulus must not always be perceivable. Do you know their thoughts? Humans can laugh following some thoughts. Don't think the mad laugh without stimulus, since you don't know their thoughts.
