It occurs to me that all fears and stresses come from illusions created by our own minds. It comes in wildly varying extremes, from the man who perceives everyone to be plotting against him, to the student who hides from his own life because he sees himself as overstepping social bounds with every word out of his mouth. It’s all perception… and it’s all crippling. The question is, if you know it’s an illusion and still can’t break free, what should you do?
