Personally, I find it very funny.

But I also like the answer: "I am not sure if Violins are male or female, cuz they are both difficult to understand in their own ways":

Maybe they're just very similar but exposed in different ways.
I'm sure that in our constructed nature (society) we have some things in common but mainly we want to be very different; no wonder we chose to impose ourselves some particular behaviours (such as "boys don't cry"...)

But I also think that in our natural nature (impulse) most attitudes are the same, exept some phisical aspects... that of course cannot be the same, but we already know about that!

We always wondered it that phisical difference influences also our mind differences, or if our minds and not related to our bodies at all and can be similar.

Besides, we have to think about every single individual, each one of us might be very different from the other, but when we talk about our differences we like to generalise and say: that's a man thing... or... that's a woman thing... When it might be nothing... just like saying That's typical of teachers... that's typical of Italians... that's typical of singles...

ah ah! I love the answers!
Topic: Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be!

I love your reply Fred, and Josef too.

Besides, it all depends on our singular point of view, of each one of us, and we all see in different ways.
So that we can't demonstrate where's exactly sanity and where's madness. We should have a agreemen: the majority of people should give a common answer ofn what is one and what is the other.
Nonetheless, not even the majority of people is an answer, because we have no proof of the fact that majority's choice=right, minority's choice=wrong.
We can choose according to the majority (democracy) but it does not mean that that's the right thing to do, it means only that that is what we want!

So that... in the end... words mean nothing: and sanity and madness become the same thing.

(Hope you understand my confused mind (confused only according to this world standards)

If you want to be closer to the meaning: "I think it's right/wrong" I suggest the following solutions:
1) penso che sia giusto aiutare i poveri...
2) penso che sia sbagliato non aiutare i poveri...

If you want to be closer to the sense given by "I like/dislike", I suggest the following:
1) penso che sia bello aiutare i poveri...
2) penso che sia brutto aiutare i poveri...


Then,, you can say "argomento complicato", that is a "complicated topic".

PS
I recognise myself among those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety; but it is not easy to find it, and often, when you think you found it, you lose it.
Liberty does depend on ourselves, but it is related to other people as well. We are not alone, so we can't get it totally alone, we have to relate ourselves to people, environments, etc, and our own might not always match others'. That's why we keep on searching. :)
