More From Melody Beattie

What is illusion? m.: to whom is the illusion? find it out. then illusion will vanish. generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. it is foolish. illusion is outside and unknown. but the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. the first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: we believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). the second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: in a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.
