Escapism
I was thinking about Escapism and how prevalent it is to immerse ourselves outside our reality. Is it healthy? Should we be concerned about Escapism?
Watching ten consecutive hours of the same show would seem unusual a few years ago, but now it is just a random Saturday. I have some thoughts about what that amount of content does to the brain, but we will save that for another time. Right now, I want us to consider what we are escaping from and why.
What Do I Enjoy?
As adults, many of us have given up on creating that fun. We do not know how to play anymore. It’s not surprising that adults have forgotten how to have fun. In general, life is filled with many, not fun things like paying bills, driving in traffic, and going to the post office.
