Rational men

Rational men

Perhaps, it’s more rational
to be a madman

It’s a curious poem making you ponder the duality of our opinions. I was for sure guided by the Russian translation. But, don’t you admit that conceptually, there’s a fine line between what we consider rational vs crazy? Is believing in the snake in the garden of Eden rational or crazy? Don’t you find it odd that apple has opposite meaning when depicted with Christ?
I observed similar duality that Enmanuel created in https://lyricstranslate.com/en/enjovher-two-persons-one-person-lyrics.html - but, within oneself.
My opinion is that you shouldn’t criticize the author for pondering on this subject.
