You are right that these are illusions produced by our brain, especially the left part of the brain... it thinks in b/w, right/wrong categories. It splits any part in 2. And believes a is opponent of b. And this is the way the left brain-halve works. And this is the way people using it this way, project their methods in reality. But reality works different. Therefore people using these categories will never catch the world. no get an idea about what they are talking about. Nobody said: there is ONE right way to do it. Or the opposite. all you can do is to try to come nearer, but the more you come nearer, the more problems you create, and with any centimeter you come closer , the problems in the microcosm gets bigger. And in the end, you have not come any closer to the problem itself, because you came nearer. For any distance i can create another factor to zoom too. For any number you think i can create another one, that is smaller or bigger. You cannot reach it. it is always far away from you. Therefore we live, to find out that nothing is trivial. So why trying to come deeper, when you will never reach the end.
