According to the dictionary, an illusion is: a misleading image presented to vision.

We see illusion everyday. They are lurking in the shadows of our lives; we never notice them, but they are still there.

Let's have an example, shall we? Our own lives are a good example.

On the surface, many of us (including me) seems to have a good and caring family, we are a 'good' student in school, we listen to our teachers, we study hard, bla bla bla...

But if you look beyond the surface, what do you find?

You find insecurities. Defiance. Family disputes. Bitterness. Negative emotions. Emoness. Pride.

SO, is the 'good' student, good anymore?

It appears that we are all wearing masks. the masks cover up who we really are. It covers up the negative side of us, showcasing the positive side to the world.

I'm not trying to make a point here; this is just an observation. =)

In regards to what I said about the 'good' student, I'm not trying to condemn. Don't get me wrong.

That was to those people who always come up to me and say things like "aiya, renjie comfirm get 100/100!" STOP THAT NONSENSE! EVEN THOUGH I GET RELATIVELY GOOD GRADES, I'M NOT PERFECT AND WILL NEVER BE. (btw, I'm not as good as you think) SO, CAN YOU PLS STOP BOTHERING ME AND GET ON WITH LIFE!?

I just find it very irritating when ppl keep doing that. sigh.

This post in a nutshell: We are NEVER perfect. That's why we need GOD.
