The moment you understand that you are a lunatic, you go beyond it; the first step toward sanity has been taken. People never realize that they are mad, and because they don’t, they remain mad. Not only do they not realize it, but if you say it to them they will defend themselves. They will argue and try to tell you it is you who is mad, not they. Once you realize that you are a lunatic, sanity has started; it is already on the wing. By the very realization that you are insane, you have dropped your madness." Everyday OSHO.
