[QUOTE="LOVEthroughINTELLECT, post: 68697001, member: 119459"] I did not say that happiness is an illusion. People bask in illusion and myth and call it happiness. I asked what they are really experiencing if it is not happiness. I am not a psychologist. Maybe psychologists and/or sociologists have shown that illusion and myth are necessary for individuals and/or groups to function. But I would argue that people need to recognize illusion and myth and not confuse their benefits with something that should be a goal or a desired permanent state. I would argue that true happiness requires recognizing illusion and myth and adjusting to them wisely, not basking in them. [/QUOTE]
