Escapism

I reckon the whole movie and television industry is held strong by one principle. Human beings love fantasy and to escape from their own reality. When someone else's life, all be it fictional, is worse than ours, it seems to alleviate any frustration we may feel about our circumstances.

But is that a way to live? Most of us even try to escape from looking at our own future realistically. Have we set up our savings correctly? Are we taking care of our friendships and family relationships so that we can ensure we have support when necessary? Do we have a strong enough relationship with God to carry us through difficult times?

Maybe it is time that we get the basics right so that we can live lives that ring true closer to the reality we desire to have in the future. One thing is sure, our salvation ensures that we will certainly have an eternity better than anything imagined in fantasia.
