Breaking the Illusion
It is all an illusion...
Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Do you remember watching the wedding of Princess Diana to Prince Charles? My friends and I sighed with envy as we compared her exciting life to ours and watched television news clips of her on the honeymoon train, not knowing that she had discovered Charles sending longing notes to his mistress during that trip!
The Royal Couple were seen as something incredibly romantic but years later we learned that it was all an illusion. Charles claimed he never loved Diana and we were all left questioning, "Then, why the hell did you marry her?"
If we spend our lives comparing them to others who seem to have it all together, we're in for a very disappointing time. Most often, things are not what they seem to be and often, we are the ones who have built up the imaginary existence, not the ones living it.
British or Hollywood Royalty...they are the same as us, they just experience life in fancier homes.
