Yes there are those out there, I was attempting to get across that IMO it's way too over prescribed today. But yes, there are insane people, just go downtown and you'll run into a number of them.
Also what I find interesting is a few years back I was listening to a talk show while driving one night. There was a Psychologist on who stated that Sociopaths are many out there and only a small amount of them turn out to be serial killers and what not. That most are successful Politicians and Businessman, the ability to not have a conscience helps them become very successful. I found that it both made complete sense and absolutely fascinating, I guess that explains why I'm not rich and famous
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
Cuz your a serial killer? ( I kid I kid.....don't put me on your killing list)
My dad is like what you described but I think the alcoholism slows him down from carrying out some acts unimaginable. Yet he wouldn't feel bad if did them, he's just unable to now because he is old and a drunk.
More of an Agnostic, but not far from the Atheist border.
What keeps me going...
I love my wife. She makes me happy and I make her happy. I have two daughters of my own whom I am very proud of, they make me smile every time I think of them. I love my step daughter, regardless of her troubles. I've never been a pessimist. I just do what needs to be done, do my best, and let the rest take care of itself. I figure that as long as I do my best, there is nothing more to be done and no reason to worry.
My mom and I have a great relationship. My dad and I had a good relationship which, after taking care of a couple of issues between us, turned out great for the last fifteen or twenty years of his life. My sister and I... Well, let's just say we're working on it.
So, what keeps me going? Love, optimism, and having no regrets. You can't change the past, you can only move forward.
Oh, and I listen to Jimmy Buffett.

I could probably count how many people are sane because the number is fewer.
I would say the craziest/insane person in my family is my brother who is in prison for killing three people.

It took my sister over 4 years to get the courage to tell what he did to her and turn him in...when she was 14 he took her out to the place where he killed and buried the other three women (two of them were her friends). He brutually beat, raped and threatened to kill her also if she ever told. Her testimony and showing the authorities where the bodies were buried is what put him away.
I still believe it was carrying around that secret and living with the memories that helped her contract cancer ....
