The word “derangement” as defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is “to make mentally unsound.” It defines what happens when we open the door to deranging thoughts that create disorder or disarray. When derangement becomes a syndrome that motivates our thinking process, we will make decisions based on emotions, half-truths, and outright lies, not on facts. Be careful allowing derangement to guide your thoughts. It can make otherwise sensible people sound foolish.
