Crazy. But not insane.

One of my favorite philosophers. Friedrich Nietzsche. Went insane. By the time he turned 45. Makes me wonder. If he did too much philosophizing. He was in constant search of truth. Maybe he found it. And it was too much to take. Could be. That sane people.  Stay sane. By  wisely avoiding the truth. I speculate. That Nietzsche did far too much thinking. No respite. Nietzsche once considered becoming a gardener.  That’s a pursuit. That might have saved his mind and soul. I’m an avid gardener. Don’t want to make the same mistake as Nietzsche. I’ll settle for being a little bit crazy.  But not insane. --Jim Broede
