It is the Quote of Einstein.

Albert Einstein was talking like an old philosopher in this instance. He's also acknowledging human limitations in understanding everything.
Isn't it amazing in science that scientists will operate under "one theory" of "rules". There will be a major breakthrough at a deeper level of understanding and low and behold several things are thrown out.

Every individual has a unique perception of "reality." Siblings raised in the same household have different views of their parents and life events. Witnesses to a crime also differ widely in their reporting of the crime. A goal in life can also be seen as an illusion. If we persist in trying to achieve it, the goal can become reality. In any case, we live in a world where "reality" constantly changes, but it's the only world we have. To give up and let things happen to us will bring us nothing positive. This, at least, is why I persist.

I think lots of people persist in seeking illusory goals; that is, goals that others can clearly see are illusions. Perhaps they don't truly believe it is an illusion. I think they probably are too afraid to give them up. But that doesn't really answer your questiton. I would say that our experience of reality is all we've got to keep us grounded. So, illusion or not, it is the framework for our lives. I can probably agree, at least at a theoretical level, that reality is an illusion. But on a practical level, that belief is of no use to me. So I persist, illusion or not. It's all I've got.

I agree that reality is an illusion because life itself is an illusion. Rules, laws, policies, socialization,religion, education, money - these things and more are made up. Humans assign values arbitrarily; what has worth - what doesn't; what's acceptable and what isn't; what's the norm and what's off the mark. Of course the chase will continue - there's no alternative.

First I find it difficult to believe that you know anything about Kant considering that his name is Immanuel Kant not Kant Immanuel. Second, you attempted to make yourself appear more intelligent by trying to state that you have understanding of Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory but you were unable to correctly spell quantum even with spell check. It is amazing that you understand these two theories, which you cannot spell, especially considering that people devote their entire lives to TRYING to understand them. Finally, most importantly, you are quite possibly the most inarticulate person I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. You should make your questions much more clear.

You are asking the right questions.
It takes a long time to see and understand our world for what it is.
