Legally insane is a definition invented to be able to lock up people who's actions are a threat to themselves and/or other people. It's just a law that serves a protective function, not something that can tell us how people think or why.

Ponder this for a moment: Do you ever take any sort of action without having a reason to do it? You don't, do you? You always have a reason to do something, and that reason always makes sense to you because it's either born from your reasoning or your emotions or both. How would you feel if someone who didn't bother trying to understand what you did or why just labeled you as insane so that he didn't need to think about it anymore?

Even people with mental disorders/brain damage always make decitions that makes sense to themselves, it's just that their world view is warped due to their brain not interpreting reality correctly, and it's often pretty hard for others to understand how they experience the world (not impossible though mind you). I know this is some seriously abstract stuff and I don't expect everyone to understand all of it, but I currently don't have a better way of describing it.

Feel free to ask me anything you might be wondering about.
