Question: What illusions and delusions do you use to keep yourself comfortable!?
I recently moved!. I had friends and family where I used to live!. Now I have no one!. What has become real to me is that I really had/have no friends nor do I have family!. I had illusions of friends/family and delusions that they actually cared about me!. I love you's over the phone from my family have become meaningless!. I am mass and I am energy!. I am powerless because because I'm poor!. If I had the money all I would do is go find illusions to delude myself- entertainments like friends, girlfriend, family, love, religion, politics, internet, TV, money, and other experiences!. Nothing is real to me anymore!. I may exist, but everything after that is imagination!. What illusions and delusions do you use to keep yourself comfortable!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one!." Albert Einstein
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space!. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest!.!.!. a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness!. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us!. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty!." Albert Einstein
Your not the only one who feels this way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It sounds like you have had bad experiences and need time for yourself!. New people and escaping raises suspicion and you can take time to read the Bible when you rest!. You don't just exsist and you have a purpose in life!. Time away to think is a small way of God saying that you need to make changes!. You are an example of reality and maybe your choice to leave is the reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Your family probably still cares about you and always will!. It's not an illusion, it might be depression though!. it makes me sad to think about what might not be real so I'm not gonna say anything!. But I can tell you that daydream a lot and that heals me a bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
