That was a surprise coming from my wife. I thought she knew how crazy I
really was. But then I got to thinking. Perhaps she is right after all. 


“Where do you suppose they get all of their craziness?” 

Again, my wife chuckled and looked at me and said, "Because they have no
idea what they say from one day to the next. They live in a bubble and 
have lost a sense of reality in this world of ours." 

Again, she was spot on about this craziness in politics. 

"They don't live in the real world," my wife began to explain to me.
"They live in a world of their imagination, and their imagination 
creates a spirit of craziness." 

"So," I said to her, "if I'm going to get paid for being crazy, I gotta
quit living in the real world." 

“Now you got it,” she replied. 

I got it, but I'm sure not going to get it. Getting paid for being crazy
means that I have to live in a bubble and not the real world, I wonder 
if it's really worth it? 

Maybe being poor and sane is the better alternative. 

I must confess that there are moments when I am tempted towards
craziness. Then, I watched some politician on television giving a 
speech, and I realized being that crazy is worth it for me. 

How much money would be worth becoming that crazy? 

I then thought of a verse in the Bible. “Whoever loves money never has
enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This 
too is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). 

Being crazy isn't worth all the money in the world.
