I have an unexamined, instinctive belief that it's a psychotic spell and the wheel will turn so that sanity's at the top again and the main thing is to keep the psychotic from doing harm during the episode. Doesn't make it a whole lot less depressing, though.
You have this gut-level faith in the innate goodness and sanity of humankind, which I'm sure is a nice thing to have. I don't have any, though. *sigh* Besides, how does one keep psychotic dictators from doing harm? This is like a bad Hollywood film version of "For Us, the Living". Boo, hiss.
