Lesson in Delusion

I stare at the stars and think,
"What a beautiful picture that has been painted for me"
I am happy in this moment,
But the moment quickly dissipates.

Our worldly happiness is based on delusion.
We are often chasing materialistic means of happiness,
And when gained,
We experience a jolt of momentary joy...
Pleasure.
Before we know it, we have fallen back into our baseline measure of happiness.

If the world was more mindful,
True happiness would thrive.
Beauty in all things would radiate,
Delusion, would dissolve.

There is a certain importance in acknowledging that delusion is a reality.
One that as a society we have become so keen on.
So comfortable with.

To awaken,
We must break free from our delusional and illogical mindset.
We must open the eyes to our souls.
We must embrace the fact that all which surrounds us is a façade.
