"Todos somos más inteligentes de lo que somos capaces y la conciencia de la locura del amor nunca ha salvado a nadie de la enfermedad."
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Even smart people can act foolishly when it comes to love. Being aware that love can make us act crazy doesn’t stop us from falling for it or behaving irrationally. For example, imagine a friend who is brilliant at work but makes poor choices when they fall in love, like ignoring red flags or making sacrifices that aren't healthy. Knowing that love can be like this doesn't protect anyone from making the same mistakes. This shows that emotions, especially strong ones like love, can overpower our logical thinking. The key lesson here is accepting that love can lead you to do unexpected things, no matter how smart you think you are.
