How would you differentiate between a crazy person and a person who chooses to be really bad? Isn't wanting to be bad crazy in and of itself?

I'm not a psychiatrist and I'm certainly not God, so it's probably not up for me to judge. But if I had to point to some sort of standard, I'd say our justice system probably does a decent job of determining who is guilty of murder (and to what degree) and who is innocent for reason of insanity.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
