<p>Well put.
Yes irrational but as you stated not necessarily wrong. Our world is made of illusions this has always been so. It’s what we feed ourselves to keep ourselves going. The lies we promise, knowing as we say them that we can’t keep them.
It’s the cheap thrills we seek just to feel alive. We exploit our emotions because we feel them. It keeps us from believing we are small and unimportant. The idea that we could be important to someone sometime. Just the idea.
Where would we be without the illusions?
Lost in all probability. Hopeless. The realization that everything we do is for naught. Eventually there will be a time when humans don’t exist and everything that they have done will be forgotten.
So we care and we love because we hope that they will care back.
I’m sure that love feels good. Humans so often do things for the pleasure of it. I would argue Ive never desired any sort of love but Id be lying.
I’m a victim of chic-flics and free chocolate as well even though I pretend I’m not. I can’t imagine anyone really not being. The illusion of love is such an impossible one to escape.</p>
