Replying to LO23297 --

>A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as
>if it is real, so he escapes the suffering. --Buddha (B.C. 568-488)

Another perspective:

A wise person, recognizing that the world (illusion or not) is all one has,
acts as if it were real, so s/he helps others find meaning and fulfillment
(knowing that one's personal suffering is irrelevant in such a worthwhile
endeavor.) --Gunkler (A.D. 1999)
