Human beings always seek happiness at every stage of their lives. Finding true happiness has been on everyone’s wish list as most people believe that they are dissatisfied with their current lifestyle due to one reason or another. Generally we tend to long for more than we currently have and that is the root of all discontent, despair and depression. In seeking to bring true happiness into our lives, we always look to spiritual leaders, religious teachers, and gurus to make us happier. But, the source of happiness truly lies within us and all we have to do is remove the illusions we have regarding our life.

An illusion can be defined as an erroneous mental representation that greatly influences our thinking, attitude and aspiration. It can encourage you to believe and let yourself be carried away by what it proposes. Ultimately, people find themselves walking down a path that brings them disappointment. Thus, once your illusions are defeated, you can be a person with true happiness.

An optical illusion is the most common form of illusion known to all. It is frequently represented by visually sensitive images that are deceptive or misleading. Therefore, the information collected by the eye is sent to the brain that processes it to form a perception, which does not match the physical dimension of the stimulation source. Eventually, we can say that the functioning of our brain is the basis of an illusion that we possess. Other forms of illusion also exist, such as auditory illusions and tactile illusions, related to hearing and touch, respectively.

The cause of delusion in a human being can sometimes be attributed to his false ego which forces him to perceive things in his own way without paying due attention to the actual facts. Here begins the real problem when the person goes into sadness if things do not settle according to their baseless illusions. Depression is a serious problem found mostly in teenagers who do not hesitate to harm their own body. The last question is: how can we overcome illusions to continue being happy?

In this world full of sorrows and deceit, one leads a life with numerous mental and emotional problems within himself. The best way to deal with them is to take a realistic approach. You need to achieve wisdom by transforming your mind and soul. According to some experts, you can do this through regular meditation and reflection. Try to live in the present and stay away from anticipation, as immersing yourself in past and present events also leads to wishful thinking.

Once you explore your inner peace, you can work to restore world peace by playing a significant role in your family, town, or everywhere. Everyone wants to have more and more happy moments. But, an extremely happy event doesn’t last any longer and we will be back to our normal state soon. Therefore, we must make sure of one thing that we do not fall for wishful thinking in anticipation of happiness.

In the end, getting rid of illusions to find true happiness depends on the person’s personality and philosophy. However, people should make efforts to gain a deeper understanding of their mind, soul, and body and should coordinate them to become more aware of how to remove illusions.
