When we look at life and different things it seems everyone see's it differently, they see it the way they want to perceive it, so knowing that that is true, would one say that life in general is an illusion we are all living differently in our own minds.
With that being said then wouldn't it be easy to change the illusion as we see fit in order to make it better for everyone?

well it might be so,but one thing i know for sure is that no one really knows and fully understand what life is, everyone is learning everyday,myself i think life is more like evolution, our purpose in life is to learn and and try to adapt.the key being learning and by that i mean using our mind which may result in life being like an illusion.

What a way to put it, I like that and you are so right, we need to keep learning everyday and with our mind make it the "illusion" we want it to be.

I do believe that life is a perception to people in a sense. It does have to do with one's attitude toward it I believe. You can be optimistic if you want to be and look at the world in a good view.
Some people don't take a good view at life and can waste time hating and other things that don't benefit them.
You make it what you want.

I agree, what is sad is it seems that the ones that always look at the world in a negative way only get negative back to them, although that works the same with the opimistic person that everything always works our for then because that is what they believe and know it will. Life is definately what we want it to be, and how we make it
