Illusions

There isn't an unselfish deed done in the world.
Love does not exist, only illusions of love.
Friendships are stepping stones, friends need another hand to clap with, just for a while.
You help them, give them a hand, so to speak, and they slap you hard on the face. You fall. Unconscious. And someone picks you up from off the ground. He smiles, not because he's glad you're okay, but smiles because he's done that one good thing that is his quota of "nice thing to do for someone else" for the day. He's completed his goal. He sleeps soundly tonight.
You think you've fallen in love with him, love at first sight, the sweet, caring, knight in shining armour, the whole shebang. But you only think you love him because he picked you up.
It's all a charade. Don't trust yourself.

Illusion is what David Blaine do best.. Other people I don't know..

Apa ni???
David Blaine tak main la...
Mengarut you kata?
If you really want to get me started on this topic, there will be no end to it. So, brace yourself.
Think about it. Give me an example of something someone did, ikhlas, without wanting or hoping anything from it. And I'll show you how that's not the case.
And how do YOU define love? However it is, it's NOT.

nobody can really define ikhlas la wei.. coz if the person is really ikhlas, then they won't make noise abt it. when there's no noise abt it.. nobody will know.. so, how to define?

But it's there... it's omnipresent.

And you've just supported what I was going on about earlier.

I'm confused. What was the "apa mengarut ni?" about then???
