a white lie is often used to good causes even if they are illusions....it helps especially in war times..that the allied is coming ...that God or Gods will help the people through...yes it may be an illusions...it keeps the people's spirit going..to survive...to look forward...while fighting it it out...
Law and order are illusions. It is just a form of power placed on you by another entity. It is just another bigger gun to restrain you. There is no law except power. There is no criminal, just a rebel against the established power order.
Tat is where u r wrong. Power is absolute, but morality had succeeded in curbing these unwanted force. Do u have people pointing guns on your head ? Wat is the chances of tat happening ? If everything goes as u said, then there is no such thing as peace or security in the world now.And I don't really see morality as a lie or unnecessary or a lie and slavery. It is enforced as laws and it ensures everyone live in a sociable manner. Since everybody is subjected to the same law, then basically everyone is still considered, free. And if u wanna break it, u will find yourself taking a risk from facing the wrath of the collective society.
As said before, if u wanna truly break free from morality, live alone in the mountain and don;t disturb other people. Then u can be as anti social as u like. Then there is no such thing as good or bad anymore.

If u gonna die or something, then maybe some form of illusion is good for u. Well if u look from peace time or times where things r normal, then religion could be an unstabilizing force. And if u go for lies, u make bad decisions to your life and u waste unnecessary resources to it
It is like morphine. If u r terminally ill or u suffer great pain, then it is good for u. Normally u shouldn't take it though as it can make u addicted and could kill u suddenly
surely not using illusions to such an extent...every moment of our life has the shadows of illusions to make life brighter or dimmer...it needs good self control to draw the line and perceive clearly....thats why the need for the arts...
if it is wasteful...then life is only a bundle of shit...
illusions to serve good...and illusions to serve bad

the only time people had guns pointing at our heads was when the japanese invaded Singapore. Now no. Only unless you kill someone and run off into an MRT station on the North East Line :D (Or was it the North South or East West line the other time?)
ya lor... so power is absolute before but now it is the age of diplomancy and reasoning

But one thing remains the same, the use of force is still on the table together with diplomancy and reasoning.
Actually I am talking more about interactions between civilians to civilians and not between countries.
You think the use of force was removed from the table even between civilians to civilians?
