At the moment it seems fashionable to call everything virtual, virtual reality, virtual business, virtual lives and so on.
Echos of Buddhism maybe where Buddhists and Hindus have said for thousands of years that all is illusion.
Or is it confusion?
Virtual and illusion what is the difference between the two?
Virtual is a painstaking collection of man made environments, where with the aid of computer technology one can pass time either alone or collectively for pleasure or work.
Illusion in the Buddhist sense is a world that is not as it seems to our senses, it is one of depth and subtlety, our world.
The virtual world is the creation of human minds.
Our world of illusion is the creation of man's limited understanding of nature.
The virtual world can lead to addiction and eye strain while understanding the world of illusion can lead to peace of mind.
It does not have to be either or, add understanding of both for a healthier life.
Try to go beyond illusion and treat virtual with care.
