O.R 16

So I finished "It's Kind of a Funny Story". It was an alright read, I didn't love it though. The thing that kept me reading was all these interesting people that this boy meets in an insane asylum. Underneath these people's odd quirks, you can see that they are sane. This led me to ask myself... Who really are the sane ones? The people who are constantly trying to hide how they feel and change who they are just to fit in. Or the people who express themselves, no matter how weird and don't care what others think. Who decided that the people who are different should be dubbed insane and cooped up in a mental hospital? Maybe WE are the ones with the problems. I do realize that sometimes people can be a danger to themselves and to others, but aren't we all really? We are constantly putting people down with our cruel words, and we critisize our bodies and how we are which can lead to severe problems. So, with that said...Who really is insane?
