An Escape From This World

An Escape From This World 

We live in a fully corrupted world. We don't want to believe that this world sucks, but it does. When we try to escape it, we often rationalize. This is just us being afraid of our own failures. We often live with questions. We question everything, we really do, and you should, if you are truly smart. Our lives are not simple things. They are quite the opposite. It seems the more intelligent you are, then the more complicated your life becomes. Sad, isn't it?

When we think of this world, it is divided into two aspects, a physical, and a spiritual half. When we live in the physical world, our spiritual world is largely dismissed. Sometimes, though, our spiritual lives intersect with the physical world. What exactly does this mean? When our spiritual lives are close to the physical world, our emotions come into play. It has occured to me that our spiritual lives are whatever we have emotions for. When these feelings gush out over what seems physical, we create a sort of happy fusion, creating harmony in what is normally a busy world. Try it out, some time! You can survive this life if you let your emotions guide you! 

Escapism applies to whoever would wield the principle like a sword. We cut through foes all day long, like homework assignments and shifts at work! We escape our every day situations when we end our day, safe and sound! What better way to escape this world but to go to sleep after a long day? Ha ha! No. Seriously though, we need to escape the stress that is presented from everday life successfully. What better way to do this than to indulge in some heartfelt media, like movies and video games that you rather enjoy? What about an imaginative talk with a friend where you reverse roles or act out a fantasy together? Escapism is like the home, it is where the heart is, so be yourself, whoever that may be at any given time. We don't live in what we call a fixed world. Our environment is not controlled. When we change an aspect of our life, we do it with a risk of failure. Remember, each part of our life we attempt to escape from will change. It's best to keep some constants, even if our life seems like an ever-changing algebraic equation. 

Our spiritual lives often consist of what some would say are petty things. We always seem to get emotional over the strangest things. Whether it's friends or our own personal belongings, we tend to take things just a little too seriously. If someone encroaches on what you believe to be your territory, relax. Life's too short to stress out. You need to try and escape from all of this world's stress that it piles on you. Trust me, it's for your own good, but remember, it's always important to care when it really matters. Friends and family should always be the cornerstone of your life.

So you might be asking me how to escape from something really bad. Obviously, you've probably tried religion and that's not working, is it? You may be considered telling someone or calling the police, or maybe drinking or using drugs. I want to tell you, escapism is all about what matters to you, but I want to tell you doing drugs, drinking, or hurting yourself is not the answer. We need to deal with our problems in a positive way. If you are thinking about doing something stupid, I want you to call someone for help right now. If you are in a bad situation and feel like life is too much, then dial 911 right now and call someone to get the help you need. I love you and I want you to live. Life is never too big for you to handle, no matter what. Life is a gift, and you should cherish what you were given when you were born into this world to ultimately be everyone's friend and brother or sister. You are amazing, no matter what they've been telling you. Hurting yourself is not the way a mature, intelligent individual like yourself handles their life. You can overcome anything this life has to offer you, I just know it.

We are only victims in this life if we perceive ourselves as victims. I know I'm never this serious on our blog but I needed to address what positive escapism is and isn't. Doing something rash is something only idiots do, and you are no dummy! We can fight what this world has to offer and escape from it in a positive, effective way. Life will get better, I assure you. Keep exercising your better judgement and escape from this world's stress in a fun way, like roleplaying, gaming, reading, television, film, acting, and hanging out with friends. Just be safe, in all that you do! I know you can, for you are a real winner!
