"Trofimov. ... To rid ourselves of the pettiness and the illusions which stop us being free and happy, that's the whole meaning and purpose of our lives...." - Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard, Act Two, pg. 269
Kind of reminds me of Plato's Cave analogy from The Republic. But in America we certainly have a lot of illusions that are thrown our way to keep us blinded from the fact that we are not free like we think we are.
