You're - psychotic. There's something wrong with you.I know, Benteley agreed. I'm a sick man. And the more I see, the sicker I get. I'm so sick I think everybody else is sick and I'm the only healthy person. That's pretty bad off, isn't it?

In Philip K. Dick's "Solar Lottery," the protagonist, Bentley, acknowledges his own psychological struggles. He admits to being deeply troubled, viewing himself as unwell and increasingly disturbed by the world around him. His perception leads him to believe that he alone is healthy, while everyone else is afflicted in some way, emphasizing a profound sense of isolation.

This admission points to a critical theme in Dick's narrative, highlighting the blurry line between sanity and madness. Bentley's reflection reveals a distorted reality in which societal norms are questionable, and his struggle with his mental state raises important questions about the nature of health and perception in a chaotic environment.
