As far as I am aware I have never ever experienced anything in my life as an 'illusion'. But, when certain events from the past pop into my mind, (without any choice on my part), I realize today that I had incorrectly interpreted my experiences then and responded non-optimally to them. Now, I could say to myself that I was deluded in my dealing with those events/situations; or I could say that I had had a wrong understanding of reality at that time with respect to those events/situations; or that I 'made a mistake'; or something else. I view my responses in the past as being the inevitable consequences of 'causes and conditions'. I learn from these recollections and then, I walk on. > Even in maths, all constructs rely in a set of axiomas, that by definition, could not be proven. > With best wishes > Lluís LLuis, living life is beyond logic, but is not irrational, and is influenced by rationality, intuition, feelings, life experience, life 'experiences', and 'awakenings'.
