Two and two are four

Hi

Could you please help me understand this?

A psychotic thinks that two and two are five.
A neurotic knows two and two are four -- but he hates it.

Thanks,

Tom

It's a mildly humorous way of illustrating that psychosis is a more serious mental condition than neurosis, but that maybe psychotics suffer less than neurotics, and because of that, it is probably more difficult to deal with neurotics than with psychotics.
