How entertaining. Thats actually the first time i compare mankind to an animal, without calling everyone sheep! Oh well. Ever seen ostridges on the tv? In cartoons and the
like, where they get scared and stick their head in the ground? Thats what this is about, because that is what you do. Up here is reality, in the dirt there is nothing.
But for me to do this, we have to get to the question “what is reality?”. Well, I wont try to debate what reality actually is, because what i see as my reality is really just my brain interpreting electrical signals from my senses. And who is to say that the reality I personally am experiencing is real, maybe none of you actually exist. That leads to.. Alright. I’m stopping myself there, because i could go on like this infinitely. And now, thanks to myself, i probably will loose hours of sleep over this matter.. (Now you see what i am going through)
So. In truth, I am not talking about reality, I am talking about escaping from it. From this point on, lets for the next few minutes abolish our sense of existential debate, and go ahead and say that what your brain interprets as reality, is. This is, in essence, what people want to escape from. But can you really?
Getting wasted or getting high, gaming world of warcraft or counter strike. Simply fantasizing yourself away, or pretending to be someone completely different because thats who you think society wants you to be! Everything is fine, in small amounts. But too much of anything isn’t good for you. (Alright, maybe not the pretending to be someone else-part)
Now, I’m not judging anyone. Who am i to sit here and pass out judgement? Quite hypocritical that would be, as I once escaped completely into the World of Warcraft universe. A time when my real life sucked ass, so i emerged myself completely, and ignored real life. I am not ashamed of this, because i got past it and i grew from it.
Well anyway, no matter why and no matter how, people try to get away from the hassle. Why do i blog about it? I’m not sure. It doesn’t really aggravate me, and I’m not sure if i would like it to change. But the fact of the matter is, there are things that are more important than getting high from that joint, or getting better stats at that game.
I wont say stop it. Honestly, Who am i to? I am simply saying that there are more important things. Dont loose yourself, don’t make an alternate reality your real one. The world is a bad place, and you can’t hope to escape the inescapable. When more than half the worlds population is suffering, the world needs you. When 18 000 children die every day of hunger, the world needs you. When something scares the living hell out of you, don’t stick your head in the dirt. Raise it high, and speak aloud.
