Answer 1

Hate and anger. They are just effects of sadness.

Answer 2

Sadly, I think true love is an illusion. Books and movies have given us a false sense of what love should be like. It's not the romantic, world-shifting, lightning striking thing that it's portrayed to be. It's a disguise for lust and obsession. You can love someone in the sense that you care for them, but the idea of only one person in the entire world being your ideal love is just hopeless romanticism. Monogamy is nearly impossible for us as a species, it's just not in our nature. There could be many instances in your lifetime that you feel you have found your true love, but over time those feelings become weaker and weaker, and you realize it is not true love, if it were it wouldn't wear off, right? This is merely my own experience having been fooled by the illusion of the existence of true love. I hope that I will be proven wrong someday.

Answer 3

Something most everyone believes in, which I do not? Well, gods for one, and anything else of a superstitious or supernatural nature. The more I know, the more I live, the more I experience and the more I understand, the more obvious it is to me that there is nothing divine in ANY of the world's religions, just a mixture of mythology, childish morality and barbarian history. I know this is offensive to those who feel the need to believe, but there is, fortunately, a growing segment of the human race mature enough to live good, moral, peaceful, rational lives without the need for belief in the mythologies of the ancients.

Answer 4

I think that most things in this world are illusions, but not love or happiness. But yes, hate IS an illusion. Because, if you think long and hard about it, almost in any case of hate there is love. If you say you hate someone, and you are still thinking about them! Infact, I am positive that any person spends more time telling themselves that they hate someone that telling themselves that they love someone.

Answer 5

Some old man with a big beard that is watching over individual people and makes the decisions like when they are going to die, and sits up in the sky for all of eternity.

Answer 6

We have many illusions and delusions. The greatest illusion we suffer from is that we have a free will. The greatest delusion we have is that God has anything to do with our universe or the lives we live.

Answer 7

Perception is illusion. All you have to do to change your reality is change your perception... making everything you perceive an illusion. Now, are you going to have a happy illusion or a sad one? A wicked one or a bad one? Your choice.

Answer 8

I think the linear nature of time is an illusion and that everything that we perceive has all happened simultaneously in one great chaotic mess.

Answer 9

i think beauty is just an illusion, sum ppl have a nicer illusion than others but since it is an illusion it might miss lead u

Answer 10

This place we call the world. It is not real, that is why it will never work out. Its foundation is built on a error. Want proof? Watch the news.

Answer 11

I think happiness and friends are illusions. I think it's just something society has pressed on us that supposedly is real but time and time again has been proven wrong.
