"Todos son lunáticos, pero el que puede analizar su ilusión se llama filósofo."
— Ambrose Bierce

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has crazy thoughts or ideas sometimes, but the difference lies in how we handle them. A philosopher is someone who can look at their own strange ideas and understand why they think that way. For example, if a person constantly worries about things that might never happen, like getting struck by lightning, they may realize it's an unlikely fear and explore why they are anxious in the first place. By doing this, they become wiser and more self-aware. This self-reflection helps them control their fears and make better decisions. It's like turning your wild thoughts into something useful and gaining insights that others might miss.
