   1234booklover chapter 27 . 10/6 Delusions... what a strange thing. This is the dictionary definition: an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder. Friendship, or rather Philia, as you call it, IS a delusion. That's what I feel any way. Humans can survive without friends I guess, but we still cling to that hope, that we need friends to survive. Because I think, it is the natural behavior for humans need to have facts to believe. Because we need to know that out hope is true. But who cares? If you believe in it, anything is possible. That's the thing with books, they explore the un-imaginable. Tell you of the impossible. And I'm rambling now :) But, what if reality IS a delusion? What if we are living in a make-believe world? Then if so, your last verse in the poem, means nothing. It means the same thing. If the friendship between the two people in the poem, is a delusion, and if reality is a delusion, then isn't it the same thing? Cause no one knows WHAT reality truly is. This is the definition of reality: (1) the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them. (2) the state or quality of having existence or substance. x-x So in a way, life is a sort of a reality. But does it have a substance? No. Does it exist. Not really. I mean, define life. Can humans CREATE life. No. So as I said before, if reality/life is a delusion, andso is friendship, then isn't it the same thing? I'd probably write a longer review, but I don't want to spam the review section. (And I've no idea where I've gone with this review :D) |

| 1234booklover chapter 4 . 9/21 Dark poem with raw emotion. The first 5 lines are amazing! Like the beginning of a tunnel, and then it just gets darker.
