Delusion

 


What is the difference between truth and delusion?

Which one do we encounter more often?

Let’s take a closer look.

Imagine a photograph: a glass ball capturing a crisp, inverted reflection of its surroundings, while the background behind it remains blurred.

What do you notice first?

Did your eyes focus on the sharp image inside the glass ball? If so, you're like the majority. Drawn to clarity, you see what seems real—but is it? The image inside the ball is inverted, yet it appears more structured than the world outside it. This is the essence of delusion: an illusion of order that distracts from the bigger picture.

If you noticed the blurred background first, you might be among the rare few who see beyond illusions. You recognize the distortion, the hidden reality. Truth is seldom obvious; it requires attention to detail and a willingness to question perception.

Delusion is common. Truth is rare. Yet, delusion isn’t always the enemy.

Think of dreams. A dream is a form of delusion—an imagined reality. But when pursued with action, it transforms into truth. The danger lies in mistaking dreams for reality without effort.

As Robin S. Sharma put it, "Ideation without execution is delusion."

So, dream. Envision. But most importantly—act. Because truth isn’t just about seeing clearly; it’s about making clarity real.

LIFE

                   Scenario #1: Warriors! Wait… are you still breathing? That’s life! Life will challenge you, knock you down, and sometimes feel like it’s too much to bear. But if you're still standing, if your heart is still beating, and you’re moving forward—no matter what—then it's time to celebrate that strength. Put a smile on your face, because you are alive. This is your moment to fight back and reclaim your power. No obstacle is too big when you realize that your resilience is greater. Embrace the warrior within you and keep pushing forward—no matter the odds! Scenario #2: Survivors! You’re breathing, yes. But simply existing isn’t enough. Life isn’t meant to be lived in confusion or uncertainty. You might find yourself at a crossroads, standing in the middle of the road, unsure of where to go or which direction to take. You may wonder, “What should I do next?” Should you stand still, wait for something to change, or search fo...

Freedom vs Free Will

Look at the image above. What do you see? At first glance, it’s obvious—two birds flying away from a cage they were once locked in. But I see it in two ways: The First Perspective The birds were trapped in the cage until someone—perhaps their owner—opened the door, setting them free. Now, they can go wherever they wish, carried by the wind. The sky is vast and open, but even it has limits. Birds, like all creatures, have their own range; their flight is not infinite. Even freedom comes with boundaries. The Second Perspective Perhaps the cage was never locked—its door left open all along. The birds had a choice: to stay, to leave, or to return after exploring. The decision was entirely theirs. What’s Common in Both? Freedom and Free Will. The First Perspective: Freedom Misunderstood Society creates cages—rules, expectations, restrictions. When someone is confined for too long, sudden freedom can feel overwhelming. Like the birds carried by the wind, we may mistake absolute freedom as h...
