Fantasy & Delusion - my longest yap yet
Fantasy Island is an Island that all your fantasies come true. Delusion Palace on the other hand is a Palace where where all your delusions also comes true. The thing is they don't exist, just a figment of the imagination.
Of all your fantasies there's a very high chance that just very few are going to come true rather than all of them happening. And as for delusion, it's never going to happen, it's so far from reality that the probability of any of your several delusions happening is pretty much close to zero.
Do I have fantasies? Of course I do, everyone has....The hope of things to come, things that are currently way above our status quo but maybe just maybe with time, effort and luck they just might happen.
Delusions on the other hand are just wishes that only magical genies can get you, except that there are no magical genies and so you can't get whatever it is you're so delusional about.
I do hear people go on about successfully people believe in themselves up to the point of delusion, which is not true. The point of having to "believe" or "hope" is so that people can do hard things, real hard things and go through dark times knowing there's going to be light at the end. Even if they don't know for sure, the thought of the light at the end alone is a fantasy that keeps them through the dark times.
Are these people delusional to think of seeing and experiencing light at the end of strife and hard fucking mission impossible type of dedication and work? I don't think so. But are we on the bottom of the societal pyramid delusional if we think we might get lucky and light at the end will come to us if only we just wait and be patient? Absolutely
It's like the saying "The patient dog eats the fattest bone". Well that's not exactly the case most of the time. You're damn well delusional if you think the inpatient dogs will let you eat when another bone comes along, most especially now that they have tasted how delicious the first bone was. Thing is you might die of hunger cause of this delusion of a big fat bone coming that will never come.
And there's my favorite "Good things cometh to those who wait" ..... It doesn't mean what you just read, and well you might even ask the question, "those who wait for what?", well there's an answer to that, which is "The good things that we want". The thing is good things comes everyday, everytime, all the time to us but are we waiting for these good things? Not particularly, no. But rather we are waiting for specific good things that we want, label them as good things that'll come if we wait and we just disregard the other good things that have come to us either cause we're unaware we want them or we're just clueless as to the consequences if they hadn't come to us.
