Many a times, we feel frustrating, when we get things which actually are not that. Getting means, I refer viewing, hearing, feeling and all. We term this as illusion. Because, these are something which always leave us perplexed and questioning our understanding. We feel deceived, cheated, fooled. Sometimes a very young man might be actually a very old man inside. Sometime, a classic young girl may appear to be an old lady portrait. Basically, it’s mind which help to differentiate the actual. But the actual is how much actual? The size of the pond beside my childhood house appears to be very small now a day to me. But I know the physical size has not changed even by an inch. I feel illusions are images that differ from the objective reality. But how do they work? Basically, it’s our minds trying to find the easiest way to look at things. At a first glance, we try to relate the image with the most basic and close interpretation of it, and only after a few seconds do we realize that separate details of the image don’t even make sense. This element of surprise is also what gets us in the so-called perfectly timed happenings: first we see one thing, but then it can be deconstructed into something else. The world is nothing but a list of incredible and funny materialistic illusions experienced by self! Are we all living in illusion?
