Distinctions between an illussion, ideals and a dream - Useful quote by Chris Hedges

[Milos Uzelac]

The quote is part of a larger excerpt from his 2012 book: ,,Empire of Illussion: The Triumph of Spectacle and the End of Literacy":

"Ideals cannot be achieved. Rather ideals are like stars that guide you through your life and they set standards." 

"Dreams were always a myth, but the possiblity of advancement in X was real." 

"Dreams were something you sought to attain."

"Illussions are different. Illussions you live within." 

"We are a society that has lost the capacity to dream and live within a vast illussion."
