Madness Overrated Quotes

“your soul and be fearless enough to say, “No!” No to the idea that you are a failure. No to a life filled with negative emotions. No to rules that abuse and products that poison you. No to those crippled human interactions that reduce joy to putting each other down. No to feeling disturbed, judged, and attacked all the time. No to finding peace only through destroying others’ peace. No to relationships that are suffocating you. No to occupations that are killing your spirit. No to being a part of immense suffering in an abundant world. No to those who want to spread fear through our streets, our homes, and our minds.”

“It is crystal clear to you, now, that the Mad Man’s game is just a big illusion, and our madness for it is simply overrated. There is much more to life than a pointless consumption game that taught you to be fearful, judgmental, ungrateful, and short-tempered, a game that made you believe that your only choice for a better life was to slave for an addiction competition.”

“Why is everyone trying to understand and develop positive ways of feeling normal about all this artificial pressure instead of simply rejecting it and spending the same energy and effort on seeking meaningful ways of living?”

“Why do we have to trick them all the time? Why do we create a surreal world for them that has no connection to natural ways of living on the earth?”

“You play your part of the game until you feel so consumed and fed up that you cannot taste or feel anything, anymore. You do not know how to enjoy life or what to share with other souls.”

“You can’t dream anymore. You can’t focus anymore. You can’t decide anymore. You are worried at all times. You are always afraid you’ll make the wrong decision. You keep making the wrong decisions. You think you can solve problems by judging rather than by doing actual work. You keep collecting and can do nothing better than collect more with what you collect. You can’t throw away things or let go off feelings. You feel stuck.”

“On the other hand, if you come from a culture that has little connection to planning and building, you may find that your whole country has been covered with ugly, concrete blocks. Your cities are turned into open-air prisons in which you are surrounded by walls no matter where you go, and trees and parks are only a memory.”

“The toxic products of his processed food, along with the pace of life he demands, keep us in a sick and depressed state. We become so vulnerable that we can be addicted to anything that gives us a kick: food, alcohol, sugar, drugs, games, TV, internet, abusive relationships, work, and so on. The result of all this is the same: we lose control of our minds and our lives. Our vision is too blurry to see that every single addiction and associated disease we have leads to more undesirable circumstances for us and more business opportunities for the Mad Man.”

“As we become too busy to cook, the Mad Man comes up with quicker foods for us to eat. As we stop seeing friends, he produces friends on TV that we can relate to. As our health worsens, he formulates new drugs. And as we give in more and our lives become more miserable, he is always there to take advantage. Quantifying every single thing helps his businesses grow even more, since people are focused solely on their numbers rather than on their real life needs. Now, he sells them not only physical products, but also abstract concepts like curiosity, joy, trust, safety, happiness, and love.”

“Instead, we end up with a bunch of great salespeople who are trying to trick us all into buying more of what we don’t need to maximize the Mad Man’s profit. They get rewarded for enslaving those who desperately need jobs in their fields of expertise and who are struggling to make a living within a system that suppresses and depresses them.”

“The game is demanding, though; it requires us to position work at the very center of our lives and make our occupation the most important expression of our existence.”

“He makes sure that there is no single moment in your life that you forget about your fear.”
― Esra Kuş, Madness Overrated

“The Mad Man hates nature. He is convinced that everything went wrong with the creation and that the world needs to be redesigned and corrected. Water needs to be rechanneled, animals need to be trapped, food should be genetically modified, humans should be addicted, lives should be extended, souls should be disturbed, lands should be owned, and power should be abused. Anything that is remotely authentic should be destroyed and replaced with his own controlled creations.”
