   Marvin: Actually I have complex auditory and visual hallucinations   
   that are indistinguishable from reality.  My experiences involve being   
   cursed by two total strangers standing 3 feet away from me, being   
   called compound curse words by another bunch of youths sixty miles   
   away from the first location, being called "Jew", "Hebe", "Sub-Human",   
   "Swine", and other epithets on various occasions.  People have   
   expressed hostility, anti-Antisemitism, sarcasm, and even sympathy.   
   People have said all sorts of interesting things to me over the years.   
   So does this prove I'm insane?  Well, to some people it does, because   
   they cannot think of a reason for the behavior I've witnessed.  So   
   because they lack imagination, or deductive skills, they say the   
   experiences must be hallucinations.  And from there, they deduce that   
   I must be mentally ill and paranoid as well.   
   This is a perfect example of how diagnosis should NOT be made.

   ==================================================   
   You just feel superior to those around you so you developed your   
   personal psychosis.   
      
   However, if you thought about it and the personal cost to you in your   
   life you would promptly come to the conclusion it wasn't worth it.
