Social Delusions Part 1

Life is full of artificial delusions.

     People create their surroundings with other people who decieve themselves, all the same, with the same convictions to reaffirm theirselves. They twist and turn debatable subjects all to their liking. That would be the reason behind the evolution of trend over time. They think up of stuff that misdirect attention or even conceal their flaws and faults such as lessons about standing up after falling. 

     A once-somewhat-trending post that can be found online reads “If you've never failed, you've never tried anything new” preceded by a small list of famous people and their failures. It would look like something ideally inspirational. But an ideal is still an ideal. In reality, relating this message on an Always-Sometimes-Never basis, it would actually be on the Sometimes note as one can try something new and not fail in it, and as one can be experienced in something and still make mistakes regarding the field. Even more extensively, on a two-sided True-False basis, it would fall on the False side as it wouldn't be always true. (Remember that when using the True-False reference, aside from the basics – that is something that is always true is True and something that is always false is False, there is the logic that holds that when something isn't always true it is False but when something isn't always false it can be either True or False depending on the absolute frequency of it being true and false.) Since a delusion is characteristic of being believed in despite of viable evidence to its contrary and that it is, as in medicine and neurological pathology, incomplete or false, then the post would be passed as a delusion in this context. It is not completely true however, that delusions cause negative results and false hopes, therefore it is False that this specific delusion, and even together with the numerous others of its kind, is lacking in positive qualities and sufficient in negative qualities. In the other classification, these artificial delusions are sometimes positive-resulting and sometimes negative-resulting and actually more often than sometimes both, which would then in turn classify these artificial delusions in the Sometimes note.
