Truth is defined as Honesty: the real state of things: FACT. But how do we know if there is any truth in the world at all today? What if we mistake the actual truth with illusion? I do believe that illusion is necessary in human existence. I believe that without illusion in the world we would all go mad. We use illusion in the form of lies to cover up our mistakes and pain to keep ourselves and others from the actual truth which would be reality. We have all, at one time told a lie to cover up the truth, because in reality the truth hurts. So maybe, in reality we actually make reality an illusion.
Remedios Varo, Visit to the Plastic Surgeon, 1960, is a good example of illusion. ... She wants to create an illusion of beauty, like the figure shown in the window. ... She looks as if she is looking towards the veiled woman in hopes that she will realize that her beauty is created by another person it is not her natural beauty, it is just an illusion. ... He is also showing how the illusion of beauty affects other people’s point of view about themselves. There is no such thing as a perfect person or a perfect body, yet today plastic surgeons can make the illusion of one. ... He would go with her to the theater and let her wear her false gems to make her happy, out of his love for her; giving her the illusion that he enjoyed these two things.
