     Sanity is being able
           to LOOK THROUGH the deceptions, the masks and the tricks
           that you and others are immersed in, are pushed into and
           are continuously being subjected to,
                 or are causing, or aiding,
     AND
           of course includes also the DESIRE to do that looking
           through deceptions, to exert that ability,
     AND
           indeed to CHOOSE one's course of life and one's actions
           accordingly
                 - both towards oneself and towards others.
'
'
     So you see (maybe if you read the definition again), that the
     level or the amount of Sanity, of any person, is continuously
     going up and down.
     Also, your Sanity can be very high in some areas of life, in
     some subjects and activities, and at the same time your Sanity
     can be very low in another subject or part of life.
           A typical example is the subject of Life Energy *(1)
                 - that what gives you emotions and your joy of life,
                   and what even determines most of your personal
                   and intimate relations, or the lack or failure of
                   it, and Life Energy also monitors directly your
                   ability to use your talents, as well as your
                   awareness of these -
          [a subject] that is THAT MUCH hidden and not looked at,
           that most people quite correctly could be considered
           highly lacking in Sanity, in that area.  *(2)
'
     Further, you can be aware of the fact, that a deception that you
     are IMMERSED IN, is normally not visible to you or not felt by
     you,
           which is obvious by the very definition of 'deception'
           itself, as
                 it carries the intention of the person(s) who
                 deceive you, to bring that immersion about in you,
                 or the deceiver uses an already existing blindness
                 that you have to certain types of deception: He or
                 she makes use of a blindness, that has already been
                 installed in you.
'
                       To give an easy and common example:
                       By keeping boys and girls (or even men and
                       women) apart, or by not letting them talk with
                       each other about the feelings they have or do
                       not have for each other,
                             which exchange would be necessary,
                             [described formally or academically, as]
                                   to examine one's own feelings,
                                   and
                                   to compare these with other
                                   feelings, and
                                   to know and understand the
                                   feelings of others, and
                                   to compare these with one's OWN
                                   standards and with one's OWN
                                   goals for personal relations, and
                                   to determine with whom one can
                                   share, or chooses to share, or not
                                   to share
                                         which feelings, and how
                                         intensely, and with what
                                         responsibilities and what
                                         intentions for another, you
                                         desire to do so, and
                                   to determine what feelings another
                                   is able to share, or chooses to
                                   share, or chooses not to share,
                                         with what intentions and
                                         responsibilities, or lack
                                         of these, another shares
                                         or desires to share his or
                                         her feelings,
                                         or how many feelings and
                                         intentions he or she may
                                         hide, or pretend, or deceive
                                         you and others or even
                                         himself or herself about,
'
                       by preventing that exchange to occur, and thus
                       preventing that understanding to come about,
                       you are creating so many blind spots,
                             that "men can not understand women" or
                             that "women can not understand men."
'
                       And you have been made extremely vulnerable
                             by not understanding these feelings of
                             yourself or of others,
                       and you find it difficult to choose which
                       feelings to express - when and to whom, and
                       how much or how little, or "maybe better not
                       at all,"
                       and it has made you very, very unhappy at
                       times.
'
'
                 The whole matter has gotten so bad, that you are
                 taught, that "you HAVE to deceive others," or even
                 yourself,
                       in order to try and achieve fulfillment or
                       happiness
                 ...rather than expressing your feelings,
                 rather than showing these and talking about them
                 with others (not with hateful or insane individuals,
                 of course, but with normal people)
                       of whom you know, they do appreciate that you
                       show them your true feelings.
                       Who do YOU like most? Those who express their
                       true feelings towards you.
                       So, if you want to become popular...
'
'
       A Sane person looks through the deceptions, and treats people
       as they are.
           And that is a tremendous joy, because there is nothing
           more beautiful and more lovable, than people [*] as they
           really are.
           Also, normal people love to be really looked at, to be
           really seen as they are.
'
        How much does it cost you, to do them that biggest favor of
        all?
        Nothing other than you exerting your desire to be Sane.
