They laugh at our stupidity

- u know we think they are insane bc they are on tartars and rags while they believe we are insane for using clothes while we can actually do without it.
-they believe we are insane because we hustle to survive while they just go the nearest refuse dump and feed full.
- they see us as silly cause we always wear a scowl or frown on our face due to so much stress while they see no reason for such!

finally we as sane people have lots of problems to worry about while them, take life easy and simple. they can eat anywhere sleep anywhere drink anywhere even in gutters and still survive.

When mad men think. Well i am not suprised some even comment on nairaland but don't lets name them

BABE!:

1) Quit calling them Mad People, abeg. Show some respect. Retain the little dignity they have by using nicer and dignifying choices of words.

2) The question is should be "Why DoN'T you laugh "unnecessarily"--like them?"

I remember once, I think it was in 1993 or 1994, my family were leaving Church (St Saviours Church TBS) when we met a mad man in the traffic. He was totally unclothed (I was just starting primary school and I was seeing a unclothed adult male for the first time). He had a big rock in his hand which he used to tap on the windscreen and beg for money.

My dad gave him small change, he refused and threatened to break the glass. My dad gave him more money but he still refused! My dad had to give him a sizeable amount before he left. He continued with other cars. My dad was so furious but there was nothing to be done. Wow.

Experience they say is the best teacher and there is no harm in experimenting. Just take a large dose of marijuana to get there and come back with the answer.

Considering there are different reasons why pple suffer from insanity (Babe is right, not nice to say they're mad), then maybe we should wonder how they got so bad in the first place to land on the streets. Only in Nigeria does a person degenerate so much into insanity that they roam the streets eating garbage and sleeping under the bridge. Some are caused by drug abuse, stress or trauma, and yes even spiritual attack (aka jazz) but with timely intervention, their condition could have been better managed or controlled
I don't find it funny/interesting wondering what goes on in the heads of such people; I'm always saddened when I see them on the streets. I can only look away, shake my head in pity and say a little prayer for him/her
