escapism.
hahas.this serves as practice for my GP test
i need to gain momentum and go on writing political posts. helps get my mind off... stuff.
alright. let's get started, shall we?
""For most people, books are an escape from real life." How far do you agree with this statement?", reads a question which popped right at me in my ten year series. Driven by my very own seemingly magnetic attraction to escapism, i decided to write on the aforementioned topic.
I define escapism as trying to run away from reality. As much as people may deny that they seek escape from reality at times, it is evident that escapism is sheer human instinct. A form of escapism has already been quoted: DENIAL. Many other forms, such as entertainment and hobbies, serve as mediums of escapism. Wouldn't you agree that escapism has also been marketed in a commercial way then, appearing in the form of activities to unwind or to de-stress? I shall discuss escapism with regards to its manifestations in our lives, the effect that escapism has on individuals, and why do people choose to run away from reality.
