Crazy

     As someone who works in a nursing home, I see crazy people all the time. At first, seeing all the old crazy people used to depress me somewhat, but now I've grown immune to it. When i go to the health care area of the retirement home I work in, I see the craziest of crazy people. It is literally like I step into a scene from One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest. From the lady who constantly screams for help, to the lady with one leg, one eye, calls everyone Susie, and forgets her room number every five seconds, I see my fair share of disturbing characters.
     When I run into people like this I can only hope that my loved ones or even myself never turn out like them. I can't imagine pushing my neurotic mother around one of these foul smelling nursing homes, as she talks nonsense that only makes sense to her. It's quite a scary thought if you think about it.
     I do think everyone is crazy in a way, though. Everyone has their weird fetish, habit, or hobby, but most people just tend to hide it better. I think the more I am around people, the more crazy I find out they are. I, myself, do some strange things that I would never do in the presence of others. So the way I look at it, were all fucking crazy, so should we judge others for things they do. In my mind, yes we should, because it's too much fun, but that's your choice to make.
