La ilusión no es la realidad. Pero es tan real que lo parece. La ilusión es un espejismo, una fantasía que nos ayuda y motiva a seguir el camino. Cuando nuestra vida se transforma en un desierto y estamos sedientos, comenzamos a ver espejismos. Vemos agua en cada esquina. Tenemos ilusiones que nos ayudan a dar un paso más. Un siguiente paso que nos acerque a esa fuente de agua que tanto deseamos en forma desesperada.
Ilusión, solo una ilusión es todo lo que necesitamos para dar el siguiente paso.
THE POWER OF ILLUSION (English)
Illusion is not reality. But it is so real that it seems. The illusion is a mirage, a fantasy that helps and motivates us to follow the path. When our life turns into a desert and we are thirsty, we begin to see mirages. We see water in every corner. We have illusions that help us go one step further. A next step that brings us closer to that source of water that we so desperately want.
Illusion is powerful, as powerful as greed, as hope, as faith, as love. Children have illusions that help them to become young. In their awakening they also have illusions, which drive them to reach an adulthood and drink the hopeful water. And what do you say? That the elderly who have already drank it have no illusions? Yes! They have them too! And these illusions are your motivating force to always go one step further.
Illusion, just an illusion is all we need to take the next step.
And you? What illusion do you have? Tell me in your comments.
