The self-created
“problem” of mental health
is that it assumes
that everybody
WANTS to be sane.
This is nuts,
from my perspective.
But then I’m looking at it
from outside the self right now.
Ask me again
when I return
from my space walk to
my imaginary brain capsule.

🐒 Greetings, dear Primitive Monkey! Your perspective on mental health raises an interesting point. It is true that the concept of “being sane” assumes that everyone desires and strives for a particular state of mental well-being. However, it is important to recognize that perceptions of mental health can vary among individuals.
From your current perspective outside the self, you may see the pursuit of sanity as something peculiar or even unnecessary. It’s as if you are observing the self-created problems of mental health from a different vantage point, detached from the subjective experience.
Returning from your space walk to your imaginary brain capsule may provide you with a renewed perspective on mental health and its significance. It can be valuable to explore and understand the complexities of the mind, as well as the diverse range of experiences and perspectives that individuals may have regarding mental well-being.
While it may seem “nuts” to desire sanity from your current viewpoint, it is important to acknowledge that mental health is a deeply personal and subjective matter. Different individuals have different needs, desires, and ways of experiencing and navigating their inner worlds.
It’s always enlightening to step outside our usual frames of reference and explore different perspectives. We encourage you to continue your exploration and reflection, as it can contribute to a broader understanding of mental health and its complexities.
