Illusion

Illusion Jules de Gautier stated, “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” I think the “war against reality” is the process of aging and imagination is the human process of being naive that shields us from the frightening world. By imagining that situations will never be uncomfortable; girls will never experience heartbreak; men will always have jobs to support their families; and people will never become sick, we are setting our selves up for a slap in the face when, inevitably, we are forced to notice how the real world works. The way in which we understand the world today is based on what we have been told by our predecessors and the predecessors before them. Facts that have been passed down from generation to generation. Today we have scientific facts that tell us the truth about things that we wouldn’t know without modern day science. What would happen if there wasn’t science. Disillusionment is the acceptance of truth and the understanding or reality. To be disillusioned, one becomes disappointed when his or her opinion or belief is found out to be false.
