Day 16 —If we assume ghosts are real, what type of ghost would you like to see?
-
If ghosts were real, I would like to meet the crazy ones. I would like to meet the evil geniuses, the mad scientist, the brilliant painter, the writer. I'd like to meet the ones who face a tragic end; where their genius drove them insane. People like Vincent van Gogh- famous for paintings like Starry Night, Van Gogh eventually committed suicide; shooting himself with a revolver. His mental health drove him insane, some say his last words were "This sadness will last forever."
I would like to meet people like him, I would like to meet te crazy ones, to know what they knew. To find out why they did it, to chat with people who might tell us why insanity is okay.
This is inspired by ABC's new show- Black Box. If you haven't heard about it; it's a show about a doctor who is bipolar, she is fine when medicated, but she has a history of not taking her medicine. She describes this experience as a "freaking rocket ride." Until she tried to kill herself; and almost succeeded. The first episode, (if you are reading this on Wednesday, April 30th, 2014) aired last Thursday, and episode two airs tomorrow (May 1st, 2014.)
This show inspired me, the character of Doctor Catherine Black is awesome. She is crazy, but so genius. Those are the types of people I want to meet, and by extension; understand.
(This entry was short, but again holds potential. Crazy people are always the most fun.)
