One dsnt have to live in the west to follow something which originated in our land.Some people also believe that the attainment of the ultimate love and peace is also an illusion,u can only achieve it by living peacefully in society,being part of family,marriage,parenthood. I guess its basically what the individual wants and how he wants.But in my opinion its wrong to state as a fact tht love and romance are only ILLUSIONS...wht might be sour for u might be very sweet for somebody else.(pls dont say tht I have a mushy point of view)
