"These anecdotes could be seen as a brief but forceful essay on the theme of"illusion". It could also be said that these stories give an account of an apparent"behavioral pathology", but in the broad sense it is not the case, since to a large extent it is something that happens to us humans on a daily basis. Each story shows that relationship of"disengagement" with what happens externally, which seems to me so much part of our current times, so relevant at a time when the world is accelerating dizzyingly in a crisis in which everything seems to be "out of control", and yet the "mental" or internal dimension can function in its own way, giving us the possibility of changing our own vision of what happens, gaining in options and freedom."
