Escapism - Greatest Illusion

This is a phenomenon that I observed in almost all people I have come in contact with. And I see it even in me sometimes, the proclivity to just throw away responsibilities and not to face reality. This phase must have hit everyone at one point of time or other.

Habits like drinking, smoking or even watching tv (my confession) are a result of this tendency. We want to experince another world or an alternate reality, since we are not happy with what is happening in our life or maybe just we are bored of the daily routine. People have different ways of dealing with this, but some dont even their whole life.

But the best thing as I have found is to face your demons and overcome them, believe it or not it is better than the few moments of relief and bliss we find in escaping reality. This will tranform the way you think about life and about even yourself.

I have a strong belief that we become what we project ourself in our minds. What our mind says the body obeys and this is the ultimate battle you will ever fight. The expedition into the unknown is starts from journey into self thats where the key to all questions is hidden.

The best place to hide the answers is the place where we would look the last that is ourself, I believe that god sent us with all the knowledge we just forgot because we didnt respect it and what you dont respect will never respect you.

I remind myself everyday so that I dont fall into the vortex of escapism, so that I keep fighting my battle and keep marching towards my goal.
