Learning the Illusion

It is all an illusion. This world and all in it offers only a veil to cover our eyes from what is truly going on. Like school that comes with books, paper, pencils, teachers, and students, this life comes with teachers, students, "paper", "pencils", and all the rest to show us...Love. All of this is but to teach us love. We study all those subjects in school, our teachers encourage and badger us into learning lessons when all the while the true lesson is about love.

There are no questions that come to mind as to why; we know why, yet we continue to live on in this fantasy land striving for success--and success is only an illusion. Democracy is a means, not an end. Money is a means, not an end. Fame is a means, not an end. Job security is a means, not an end. Yet, love is not a means; it is the end.

When the world learns to love, this life as we know it will end. The means have come to the end. Perhaps that is why we dally in the means. We are afraid of what love will bring: an end to life as we know it.
