Tip Toeing Around Sanity

Thoughts on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, What is it like to be crazy? Many have probably wondered. What must it feel like? Is it any different than what I'm feeling right now? What changes? and Does anything really change at all? Do insane people even notice that they've gone mad? Could it be that the realization of their imminent madness could have caused them the latter?

At first I didn't really pay much attention to things in the book, I wasn't looking for something, there was not anything that I was focusing on as reader yet. Then I noticed the "fog". Immediately I became skeptical of what the main character, Chief Bromden was telling us. At first I didn't really know what to think of this "fog" and assumed it had something to do with their medication. Yet somehow that didn't quite fit. It could be a technique used by the people in wards to control the patients or maybe its just supposed to be that way and nothing weird is happening.

Then again before going ballistic and go insane from over thinking details and actions in the book, its probably wise to step back and appreciate the big picture. By criticizing society the "fog" could be interpreted as something even greater! Right now from what we've seen the "fog" is just the heaviness of a clouded mind, uncertainty, sluggishness, or maybe and quite possibly, madness itself.
