Life is a mere illusion and just
like the world is a stage as we use it as a stepping stone for a showcase of
our talents. Life basically is the state that follows birth, and precedes death
which the state of being alive and living meanwhile illusion is anything that
seems to be something that it is not and a thing that is or likely to be
wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses. I cannot agree that life is a
mere illusion because nothing last longer and we cannot achieve everything that
we desire for in our life. So our illusion been destroyed by our reality. But I
can agree that illusion somehow always be apart in our life. “Illusion is the
first of all pleasures.”(Voltaire) Even for me, I do dreaming a lots in a day
but then I can escape from the reality that so different from I been imagine. “Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because
once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is
difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult.
Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” (Peck)
The fact that we cannot achieve what
we want was cruel enough so we want to believe and live with the illusion we pleasure
but the truth we are living in reality not be the same as illusion that we
hoping for. Life is full of dramas, lies and temporary because it is not
illusion so our life did not flow as what we dream. In life we don’t have any
guarantee of what will be happen next because it is so unexpected. “Ultimate reality cannot be defined by concepts or words. It could
be thought to be unchangeable. But hardly anything in the universe is truly
permanent. (Yacobi, 2013) “The truth is you don’t
know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is
guaranteed.” (Eminem) If we only dream about it, it only will stay as a dream or
illusion because the reality is we need to run for it.”We all have dreams. But in order to
make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination,
dedication, self discipline and effort.”(Jesse Owens).
The world is not just a stage as we
use it as a stepping stone for a showcase of our talents. This world not
completely is all about presenting ourselves but there are lots of things we
want from this world because I believe we not live in this world just for the
world but also for our afterlife. For example, even in Islam, we need to
balance both for this “planet” as well as for afterlife. It is not false to
said that this world is a stage for us promoting ourselves to gain something
beneficial for us and we are aware that we only an actor/actress in this world.
This world is a place where we gains memories and experience.”Life is a rough biography. Memories
smooth out the edges.”(Terri Guillements). It should able to create beautiful memories as we
grow older.
Thus, life is a reality and we must
to face it because it will happened even we hoping that it not. This world is a
place where we gains experience, memories and knowledge. “It happened. There
is no avoiding it, no forgetting. No running away, or flying, or burying, or
hiding.” ( Laurie Halse Anderson). So guys, live your life, be happy, be real.
