Delusional

Post by Martin Hash » Fri Jan 05, 2018 2:59 pm

Virtually everyone is living in a delusion. A delusion is believing things that aren't true. Religion is the prime example: are you a reincarnated grasshopper? Does a spirit listen to your whispering & grant wishes? What are the odds that your religion is the right one, because if you’re right, billions of people are wrong. Same thing with politics: if you’re pure and the other side is evil, that’s half of everybody right there. But nobody seems to recognize this dichotomy? Somehow we all live in our delusions without admitting we are delusional? A sign of self-awareness is recognizing this fact.

Seems legit. 2 + 3 does not = 4, at least not in my book.

What does the word "true" mean? What is the definition of "true?"
