Q: Are illusions a good thing in life? Would it be better to live with some illusions or to know the actual truth/reality of every situation?
Although illusions are associated with trickery and deception, if people were able to know the truth and reality of every situation there would be no wonder. Humans are inherently curious, searching out the answer and "full truth" of every possible scenario. Without false perception, misconstrued ideas, and uncertainty, there would be no debate among human beings pertaining to common life experiences and things such as politics. However, illusions can still be bad. People can deliberately create illusions to manipulate someone (or a sector of a political party... ahem Trump) to achieve a personal goal or make others believe their fallacies. All together, although illusions can have a negative impact on society, illusions are the basis of human wonder and curiosity.
