Of course it's an illusion!
Sincere question for you Mr. Frank. You often gaze in wonderment, as I do, about the deeper implications of the Universe - albeit, we often dont share the same conclusions but thinking on this macro level leaves life in front of you seeming so micro, often. Why, then, do you lower yourself to partisan hackery? It all doesnt fucking matter, and being so cynical about mostly good people, or who a hack calls 'the other side,' is not only being a dick.....but in the grand scheme of things - its being a dick to no avail and no relevant outcome.
Agreed.
See, this is my version of Hell on Earth. Sometime I slip into the pit and imagine all the horrible things the government, or some other sinister villain: Obama, Rdean, George Soros, is doing and like the Hoarders and Waster down in Dante's Inferno, Circle IV, I'm rolling the rock onto the other side only to have them roll it back onto me
"Here, too, I saw a nation of lost souls,
Far more than were above: they strained their chests
Against enormous weights, and with mad howls
Rolled them at one another. Then in haste
They rolled them back, one party shouting out:
“Why do you hoard?” and the other: “Why do you waste?”
So back around that ring they puff and blow,
Each faction to its course, until they reach
Opposite sides, and screaming as they go
The madmen turn and start their weights again
To crash against the maniacs. And I,
Watching, felt my heart contract with pain."
Sometime I step outside and laugh at what an unbearable idiot I can be at times
