Well, I finished The Manufacture of Madness this morning. Szasz ends by saying this: "As a rule, we live off the meaning others give their lives, validating our humanity by invalidating theirs." In a footnote to this statement he writes: "This is no doubt one of the reasons why the creative person--the truly innovative artist--is admired and valued...he learns to give his life meaning without robbing others of the meaning they have given theirs. He 'produces' more meaning than he 'consumes.'" Nice to think in those terms!
