HUMAN LIFE IS A REALITY OR AN ILLUSION ?



If we ask the difference between reality and illusion most people may give answers instantly. In case we alter the question slightly and ask whether life is a reality or illusion, most people will say it is a reality. When we take life in terms of time, can it be a reality or an illusion? The straight answer will be illusion. Life is not a reality, but an absolute illusion.

The state of things as they actually exist is called reality. An instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience is called illusion. When we take life in term with time, the present time only constitute reality. The other parts, what is happened is past and to be happened is future. Present time may be called present day, present hour, present minite, present second etc. However, all these time fractions are not present. Each of these have past, present and future. Now, for more accuracy, if we divide the second into thousand fractions and pick one, that too will have these three constituents; past, present and future. Even if we divide a second into a quadrillion, a quintillion or a sextillion it may still have a past, present and future. If we look for a measured present time it is certainly going to be infinite. Hence it can be safely concluded that as our lives cannot be experienced in its presence, this life cannot be called as a reality; it is certainly an illusion. And this illusion is wholly built on the past.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
