Question: Have you ever been loyal to!.!.!. a delusion!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That is life!. All decisions are usually based upon the assumption that we are who we are & because of this we make the choices that, consciously or unconsciously, exemplify who we are, either for ourselves or for others!. It could be said that we make our choices based solely upon our desires which may at first seem self-indulgent, but the desire to be ourselves, to make the decision that best suits the way we want to feel is rooted deep within our nature!. Whether we place principles upon ourselves to make us feel right, for lack of a better word, or we make choices based solely upon our instinct we make the choices that suits our own knowledge of our self!.

It could be argued that even the self is a delusion, but of course, one man's delusion is another man's bold unadulturated truth, or woman's for that matter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
