all human beings go through life believing in their own illusions and fantasies.sometimes the only way to cope with reality and deal with the pain of living is to believe in your lies and live in a fantasy.take the germans for example,would you rather believe in your own lies and fantasies,and tell yourself that you are the chosen ones,that you are the master race and you have been set on this earth with a purpose and destiny to create the greatest reich and empire to exist on this earth for a thousand years,or would you rather face the mirror and look at the monster you have become,to gaze upon the bottomless pit of your black empty soul,to see the horrors you have done,the blood on your hands,to see the poor cowering creature,a race of people who have been hurt and tormented for too long,like a creature backed into a corner snarling and biting,terror and fear in its eyes desperate for survival,like a deranged hobbit smeagol,willing to do anything to survive,to destroy and protect what is their "precious"?
everyone has their own version of illusions and fantasies,some of us choose to go to religion,some of us create a alternate reality like inception,some of us indulge in our fantasies,anime,sci fi,dating sims,to escape from reality.some seek out ideology,or meccas or go on holy crusades and missions.in this dark and desolate world,we have to believe in something or we perish.
we all believe in lies and fantasies one way or another,like the god of no mercy,founding father of singapore,and how PAP brought singapore from fishing village to first world.it helps us to live with who we are,our circumstances,and our conditions.because if we knew the truth,can we handle,can we bear it,can we handle it?knowing that we have led the path of our own destruction with our own hands?sinkies have dug their own graves with their own hands can they face the truth?
