The attributes that make you a "sane" person, according to current literature.
Are you sane?
We all have our problems, some a little more than others. I was taught in school yesterday that 50% of the United States, at some point in their life, could be diagnosed with some type of mental illness. This is according to "The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders"(DSM-5), wanna find out what that is? I mention it in this post:

Im sane but my wife is not according to this post.
Hahaha It happens. We are all a little crazy.
Whats funny is "who" sets the standard for sanity?
Its usually not just a single person. Its the leading behavioral specialists, psychiatrists, M.Ds, etc. All experts in their fields.
Enjoy the vote and reward!
Wow man. I just looked into you. That's pretty deep. Sometimes the only way to get your point across it to, "if you can't beat em, join em", then proceed to beat them at their own game.
In the conceptual world correct. Whats funny is throughout history thru many cultures there is always a "specialist" who decides whats sane or not and changes from time to time and from culture to culture. Just my buddhist coming out of me, keep sane brother :]
Agreed. Even in the current modern world each culture has a different outlook, explanation, and way to deal with mental illnesses. Its an extremely diverse subject when you start to touch on the WORLD view. You too man! hahaha
