Today brought a lot of rethinking.
"Things aren't always as they seem", right? Well what if things seem perfect? That saying, while it can be used to console, it can also be used as a warning. What this saying means is that sometimes we don't see the truth. We are blind to the fact that some perfect things in our lives are lies (and vice versa of course).
So when something only seems perfect, sometimes it can't be -- it isn't true. No matter how many great things can come from the illusion, it lacks the verity to merit it worthwhile, right?
Well maybe sometimes we don't need that reminder that things aren't always as they seem, and I'm not convinced that illusions can't be exactly what I need sometimes.
I thoroughly recommend the band Flunk to anyone who is interested in unique female Norwegian vocalists and has an eclectic taste in electronic/rock/indie music. I just got a lot of their music, and I'm liking a lot of it so far. It's neat and new for me.

"What this saying really means is that sometimes we don't see the truth."
Really? I thought it meant something else. >_>
Thanks for the sarcasm, Ray.
You actually pointed out that I wasn't being clear enough in my post, so I edited it. The point wasn't to define what that means, it was to make several different points about illusion vs. reality and the power of doubt when seeking absolute truth.
Defining a man part of my post was just a way for me to follow the great philosophers, ya know. It seems obvious, but it's important.
