"A stubbornly persistent illusion" is a phrase by Dr. Albert Einstein. In a letter of condolence to the sister of his old friend who’s just kicked the bucket, Einstein writes
“Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Isn’t it so very true? Once we witness the reality, our imagination withers and gradually fade away. Everyone’s way of looking at things is just an illusion. When things happen in real, it either takes the shape a lot better than what we had imagined it to be or worse than we could’ve possibly pictured it. I found this fascinating. In this context, the posts of my blog are a stubbornly persistent illusion. I really do not want things to happen in that way. But at the moment, that’s the reality. It’s in an inflexible state. Will it change? YES. Of course. But definitely not the way I and you want it. Hopefully in a much better way.
At last, all that’s well ends well. But at the moment, everyone and everything on earth is suffering from “A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion”
