Philosophy and Human Nature
Elusion
“Memory is a draft we keep; mistaken for an archive.”
Illusion is not the opposite of reality;it is reality translated into something we can bear.
The sun does not rise;we rotate into brightness.
The ground is not still;we are spinning fast enough to mistake it for stability.
Nothing is colored;surfaces reject certain wavelength and we hallucinate beauty.
Time is not passing;we are passing through it.Universe is not getting older;it is getting less organized.
Memory is a draft we keep;mistaken for an archive.
Self is a story;told so consistentlyit forgetsit's fiction.
