Philosophy is the love of wisdom. If wisdom is organized insanity, then what is sanity? Foolishness?

Who ever said true love was sane?

Philosophy is the love of ego.

You are too hard on yourself, if you thought it was a cucumber, then let it. There’s nothing bad about that.

You speak for yourself with that philosophical statement and only further the point of the op that philosophy is organized insanity.

… Who ever said "true" love is insane?

Good points. Though maybe the implication that we are always somewhat illusional by being subjective - has merit. But philosophy (especially logic) CAN reduce foolishness.

As to, “Who ever said "true" love is insane?”…
I’m no expert on love but from my experience & observation, true love is less insane. Infatuation masquerading as love is quite insane.
