Here is an article that demonstrates that delusional people are not only happier but usually more successful. I was thinking as I was reading this that Jesus was a delusional person, for he imagined he was God, the Creator of the Universe, and that he could, if he choose, call down legends of angles to protect him. Yet, he was lighter and happier than most the other people around him, and he was successful in drawing attention to himself, which was a hard thing to do in those days.
Another way of looking at this is that Jesus was just be optimistic. Yes, one can say that being optimistic is delusional just as being a pessimistic is being delusional, but at least if you are gong to delude yourself why not do it in a positive way instead of a negative way.
So why be realistic when being delusional with an optimistic bent is healthier in every possible way?
