The Ramifications of Living With a Crazy Person
I'm talking about people who are not only foolish, but also, they will not respect boundaries.
Telling them no, never really means no. It means "Yes" after much prodding and insisting.
You could have the best plan for your existence or for a project, but it's not a question of how good your plan is nor how motivated you are. It is being multiplied, so to speak, times their crazy. And sane times crazy equals crazy.
Worse yet, almost as if by osmosis, their craziness will start to leech into your thoughts and actions, over time. Eventually, if you do not leave, you will be crazy too, just by having to respond to it all the time.
My disclaimer: None of the above, as far as I know, has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, scientifically. It is a hunch that I am going on based on personal experience. Also, crazy is a vague term that does not show up in scientific literature, most likely due to its vagueness.

you can't reason with crazy: you can only defend against or walk away from it
personally: I say run like the devil is on your ass

Sanity can spread by osmosis as well. I was "troubled" as a teen - from about 12 to 16 i was more or less insane.Systematic wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 7:24 am Worse yet, almost as if by osmosis, their craziness will start to leech into your thoughts and actions, over time.

My family stayed more or less sane - until their sanity leaked over.

S, heed Henry’s advice. The healthy thing to do is to separate yourself from the relationship.

My answer to that situation is that ethical maturity is to account for externalities and few ever reach it.
If you account for salience, perspective, and priority, you'll find a solution, but yeah, good luck.
BTW, sane + crazy = crazy is legitimate Spiritual Math. It's an accurate assessment of the relationships between metaphorical things that does useful work for us. I believe the rest of your understanding is likewise dead-on-balls-accurate, in a provable sense though. Having your attention constantly distracted by nonsense must have very pointed psychological effects, n'est-ce pas?

If you separate yourself from every relationship that isn't serving your greater good, you'll soon find yourself alone on a mountaintop.

What are the ramifications if, and when, the crazy person is the president of the country in which you live?

As long as the system is a dumbass, the leader will be a dumbass.

Re: The Ramifications of Living With a Crazy Person
Unless, of course, a, so called, non "dumbass" human being gets voted in as a leader to change the current, so called, "dumbass" 'system'.
