Disillusionment: "a feeling of disappointment resulting from the discovery that something is not as good as one believed it to be."

> Not really.

How so?

Well, it's not disappointing really, it's just recognition.

I have no problem with how the system works, it's silly, it's unbalanced, it's all based on illusions, but here it is...

You can either feel disappointed and become all bitter and twisted, or you can just play the game. In many ways, it's fun, especially when you get that perception of clarity -- compensates for all these years you were the pawn.
