Pondering Sanity

She, the weak one, is what he hated. Weakness cannot be accepted. Or can he learn to cope with her weakness? He, the one they call insane, is what she can't understand. But can she learn? GaaraHinata

Pondering Sanity

One aspect that one must value in life is weakness. For the one with weakness must depend on others, to use them as their pillar of strength.

In most cases, the savior would be proud to be that pillar. To be needed is an elated feeling, almost overwhelming in a way. Although sometimes it can also be suffocating, almost to the brink of losing one's mind.

This is one of the symptoms of insanity. Love is also a part of this category. To depend on each other can be difficult, to flawlessly cover each others weakness with your strengths. It can be quite a hardship.

But love can be pleasing, knowing that you are not alone. But remember, pleasure cannot exist without its counterpart, pain. You can only love each other so much before it becomes painful.

But what if one was never to experience love? To have never felt the pride of being needed, or to even be able to need someone, what if that has been refused to those who would've needed it the most?

Power is the counterpart of weakness. To be the strongest, one will cut off their ties with the world, in order to obtain this strength, to cut of your emotions in order for perfection in your own eyes; this is the ultimate goal for those without love.

Or is it that love gives you strength and power? To love someone so fiercely that you would die in order to save them, to protect them from the world's cruelty. Is that the most powerful way to obtain strength? Most ponder and question this ideal.

But of course with power comes insanity. Knowing that there may be others out there stronger than you must make one paranoid. To live in constant fear everyday, wondering who will come and take your goal away must be troublesome.

And lastly, there is loneliness. This is the worst of the four. We all know that to be alone is like your own private hell. To never be loved or to love, this is what drives most of us mad. When we are denied companionship and love, we wonder. What is the point of our existence, if we are of no use? Usually this will lead to striving for power, which again leads to insanity. Well, for most individuals anyway.

Love, weakness, power, and loneliness, these all fall into the category of insanity.

Our story ventures into the life of a man and woman, who both have, and will experience these four.
