Q: Proposition: Life is a mere illusion and just like the world is a stage as we use it as a stepping stone for a showcase of our talents. Provide at least two(2) premises or counter arguments for the proposition. Write in complete paragraph(s).

I agree with the question and the statement above. Life IS a mere illusion. Why? I have two reasons which are life is not like we thought it would be and life is cruel yet we still live on.

First and foremost, life is not like we thought it would be. When we were kids, we thought that life is like whats in the cartoon. Colorful bears jumping around on the clouds and can talk which easily a significance of happiness. As years come by, we grew up and we realize that to gain happiness is not as easy as what we known when we were a child. Moreover, when we were kids we are taught that smoking is dangerous and can result in death so we thought that our teachers, and friends when we were kids are as good as an angel. Yet, we were wrong. When we grew up, we come to realize that that is just what we thought but not the other people would think about as on that particular time, we are just an innocence kid that think that all the thing in this world is good like what our teacher taught us to be. This shows that what we thought when we were younger is just an illusion and not a reality that we live in.

Last but not least, life is cruel yet we still live on. When we were young, we imagine that all people think like what we think, speak the way we speak and act like we acted as older people keep saying that if you are being good, people will be good to you. Well, half of this statement is true I would say but not all of it. Why? Because, different people have different perception and the most cruel is that people change. We never know that even our good friend could be the one who stab us in the back when it comes to problems, jealousy and even money. In the end, we have to face the fact that living in this world there will always be things that have pros and cons, and good and evil. There will never be things in between as it is only our imagination and illusion. 

I view that life is like a stage plays, dramas and movies.

Allah is our creator as i would like to portray as the director of our story. You are the main actor and the scriptwriter of your life. Your life depends on what you write on your script and the way you act on your world stage. Everyone you met or will meet in the future could be strangers at first or until forever, your lover, your spouse, your friends, your enemies, acquaintances, boss and many more you just name it. -me
