“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

Do you think people can only live with the truth? I don't think so. The truth kills. The lie is vital to the existence of people. The nature of man is to have illusions, to reproduce them. And for that I think it is the work of few to seek the truth, for the others are important lies, without which their lives will lose their worth.

Everything is an illusion!:)

Yes and that is very sad :D

Thats challenging. I had a conversation with someone yesterday about truth. He made the point that truth is objective due to a measureable combined reality that we share. I don't agree. To believe in something is to be fully convinced. If we built a case with great ideas and others also believed it...are we now sharing a combined reality. Can we gather others around us that share a belief and create truth....

I agree with Nietzsche. But irrespective of what people want, illusion always breaks. Always without fail. That is why it is an illusion ! :)
