The Sanity Test
by Philip Atkinson (August 2011)

Sanity is the ability to recognize right from wrong independently of private feelings. As the insane have no way of judging right from wrong except by their feelings, a simple test of sanity is the question:

How do you recognise right from wrong independently of your feelings?

Unless the truthful answer is a traditional moral code, such as a religion, then insanity is demonstrated.
