You know when you see something and then it just seems all so wrong because it isn't what you should see? The point between what looks real and should be real and what truly is real.
The human hands and minds have never truly stayed true to what they were crafted for, they tend to move over from the point of reality to one that leaves us pending.
What is illusion?
An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the human brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. It is a kind of disorder and then some worries as it mostly becomes a grandeur that tends to stick to making the shades all dark.
There are three types of illusions namely, Optical illusions, Auditory illusions and Tactile illusions. But we are not going to be looking at all three today, we will be just talking about Optical illusions.
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
An optical or visual illusion is a kind of illusion in which the images perceived through the sense of sight tend to be misleading or deceptive, causing errors in perception.
An optical illusion is based on the process through which the brain creates a visual world in one's mind using either or both these two sources: previous memory stored in it and the current presentation of the object in the environment. Source
I particularly like the whole lengthy grammar even though it wearies me most of the time, but then i still use it. I will be talking briefly on the aspect i see that I can relate to my and your day to day living.
People are tuned in to live like they own anything even if there is nothing in plain sight. I have been one person that lives an illusion-typed life from far back as I can remember, (not medically though).
Illusion is not bad, I just think it is something that helps us most times to live a life we want but never have been able to have. Pictures are real and they are mostly what we make of them through the desire of our minds to give us some kind of rest.
You dream to become a rich trader and have a happy home even when you are yet to have a partner. Isn't that just a tad misleading?
I believe that, illusions have helped the world attain a status that has made it what it is and will continue to take it to the level we are gearing up to attain.
Without illusive thinking and thinkers, we will not have a crypto world.
I know the definition seems to say something about a deceptive and misleading view, but it is what makes it better and acceptable to many.
Because life is so hard and unpredictable, we have become used to living well within our bounds based on the acceptance of that misleading and deceptive view. Misleading and deceptive views have in more ways than one ushered in better living for many, while for some other, it has lead them to their waterloo.
Illusion is a grandeur and has a well thought out setting that kinda gets you settled in so comfortably that nothing else just seems to be better when you get use to it.
Creating the image you want to see is an illusion and if you are doing that because you believe in the beauty of a better world, it will be in the best interest of society.
I seek a world where there is so much to be had and given;
I seek a world where there is freedom and equality: I seek a world where the barriers are broken and the rich and the poor are equal;
I seek a world where politicians in Nigeria earn N18500 as minimum wage;
I seek a world where the divide is not noticeable and everyone loves everyone;
I seek a world where no one has to be pained and the antidote to love is just your smile;
I seek a world like it was in the garden of Eden where everyone is naked and have to go about in leaves, unashamed.
There is so much I seek and wish to happen, and looking at the way I am just wishing on a broken star, you will agree that illusions just keeps getting busy playing its game on me.
We all are a product of some illusions of some sorts and no matter how dysfunctional the thought and idea may seem, it is our reality and we must learn to draw a divide between what works and what doesn't.
This day and age that we are in, is one of illusions that works when we move to make it not just seem like a fault but as a tool to move the right direction for the good of the world.
What is your illusion? What makes you happy? Are we in a world where deceptive and misleading visions help?
Whatever makes your bacon thick should be just fine.
