About This Quote
People tend to believe that the world is one way and it has always been like that. This is true for most people, but not everyone. Some people choose to live in an illusion and pretend that things are not the way they really are, and instead make up their own stories of what is really happening. For example, if a person believes that they will never fall in love with someone else, then he or she may choose to live in an illusion and avoid relationships altogether. On the other hand, if a person believes that love never fails and it is always there, then they may decide to live in the reality and let love guide them.
