Posts from House of Madness: what kind of madman sleeps deep within your soul? Auto-translated

The one who has been sleeping inside you all this time was the Mad Genius.

Perhaps, there is no madman more approved by public opinion than the Genius (the others are not spoiled by approval at all, as they receive only abuse from ordinary people, and much of it is deserved). After all, it is often said with respect, and even with a certain envy, that all great people are abnormal, understanding that they will never be able to reach a state where they can dismiss real life as uninteresting nonsense and completely devote themselves to an idea, to the cause of their life. And to be happy doing what they want, to be upset by failures when research or Creation comes to a standstill, to be on the peak of ecstasy, having achieved their goal. Indeed, why shouldn't the crowd love Geniuses if they invent something that makes its existence easier, working for the benefit of humanity? Unfortunately, it is better to admire Geniuses from a great distance in time, in order to appreciate all their benefits, so during their lifetime such madmen often remain misunderstood. However, this does not upset them at all... Because most Geniuses work not for future generations, but out of interest, and also because their madness tells them to do so.

The one who has been sleeping inside you all this time is the Mad Dreamer.

Perhaps, there is no madman more harmless to the surrounding world than the Dreamer. He only intersects with reality occasionally, if it causes him too much discomfort or is somehow associated with his imaginary world, where his consciousness has long since moved to a permanent residence. However, reality may not mean anything to the Dreamer at all, because in it there is only his mortal body, whose desires and needs this madman most often deeply disregards. He creates his own world in which he lives, and perceives it entirely as reality. And it doesn't matter whether his dreams hold a fairy tale or terrible nightmares – this is the life of the Dreamer, which may be brighter and more fulfilling than the fate of an ordinary person, where there is no place for adventures and miracles. Having broken free from the dusty and gray shackles of everyday life, the Dreamer has fallen into another web – of dreams and intoxication, which have replaced everything for him.

Perhaps there is some truth to it, but anyone who completes this test to the end will probably not object to such a statement
