In a State of Disillusionment

The world around us is more construct than real. I'm not saying the real world doesn't exist. But what we see is our perception of the real which is a construct. Once the construct is made, we get comfortable in it and let our guards off. We start to trust people, make expectations of them, love things, hate people... all based on the construct.

But the fact is that the construct is different from the reality. The real is far more complicated than our brains could fully comprehend. The problem arises when the real pops up to contradict our construct - we are simply disillusioned. Everything around us seems false and a gloomy period ensues.

Right now, I'm in such a state. People who I thought were great are actually not that great after all. Friends doesn't seem to be friendly. The chain reaction begins and even the mundane things seem to be specially designed to hurt us.

But optimism prevails and we believe that it will get over. We make new constructs to live on.

THIS is the change the 3 years at ramjas has brought about in all of us.
No non-arts person can ever "drem" of questioning reality

y'know, perhaps this is why the 'construct' of God came up. I know you're religious, and i'm fast reaching the conclusion that, really, i am too. But maybe, the Gods come in here to be the scapegoat for all our disappointment and disillusionment. no?
