Hello? I'm sorry this is who?

"You achieve total enlightenment when you realize everything in your life is an illusion" - Employee of the Month (the old one)

I wonder if that's true, it would be extremely hard to think of everything as a illusion. I mean somethings I would love to hope they were illusions. Like people dieing and the people that can take another human life, but I guess it means that you just put everything into a different perspective. To just realize we make the world the way it is. What is achieving total enlightenment anyway? Is that some way of saying you're wise or that you then have a direct line with some higher being? Ha imagine that phone call, it would scare the shit out of me. Would you really want that kind of connection anyway? I think it's sometimes nice to be in the dark, so that you don't have to worry. I also believe that too much responsibility would come with enlightenment, and I am far to lazy for that.
