If modern psychology is more or less correct (the stuff from Freud on), what a mess we would see if we could strip our minds so that just our unconscious would show. I think that even in the most well adjusted of souls we would see a huddled, deranged mass flinching from the sunlight. It may be that those of us who are labeled "insane" are just that mass — that the shielding of our normal conscious minds have evaporated, and that one can peer directly into our hearts of darkness. And maybe there's such a stigma attached to us just because normal people don't want to be reminded of what lies in them if you look deep enough.
I know that I have had to face them, these things which lurk in the deep of myself. I have seen the ugly things, some of which I cannot express because they are too personal or too grotesque or both. Maybe the hearts of darkness we all have to face — their depths are measured by the things of ourselves the world chooses to show us.

Everyone has a darkside;some control it better than others.Light tries to shine in but the darkness wants to hide;it knows that when the light is shining bright that the shadows disappear into nothingness.Where all people keep their uttermost secrets from the heart.Everyone has secrets;some more scary than others.

Yes your right. We all have an ugly side that we all must face somehow. Some may be able to cover it up better than others. But in the happiest of people there is always an ugly, dark side they will never admitt to. Until they do, I think they're the crazy ones.

those who are labeled "insane" are not labeled so on the credentials of their "darkness" as you call it, and associating it with bad or evil; rather it is just behaviour which is not in harmony with the mass of conformed society...don't get me wrong there are many insane people who fit to your statement however I would not generalize it for all who are labelled insane. And maybe as I herd John Nash (the noble prize winner for game strategy) say today on PBS something along the line of being "normal" might not be all that great after all, maybe your not really living life to the extent that "that which is the beginner" allows it to be.
