And I just realized that we all live our own interpretations of life in our minds based on sensory inputs, and what one person calls a mental illness may be another's reality.

Perhaps dismissing an entire person based on their perception of reality as illness, and believing the need to be repaired to conform to society's expectations, is just another form of censorship? It may be on par with, or perhaps more insidious than, limiting free speech.

It is not up to any of us to decide if another's views are valid or healthy, as long as they aren't harming others. I expect to be allowed to hold my own views and freely live my life, that means I must maintain that same standard for others. ESPECIALLY those who I disagree with, or feel are wrong.

I don't care if they say they have seen a ghost. Maybe they have, but it wasn't for me to see, and doesn't affect my life.

In all things, don't trust. Verify.
