Cant we just get out of reality sometimes?

welcome to reality - AN abstract painting...that emphasizes reality as something that is not superficial and universally perceived...It only tells us that reality for another person may not necessarily be reality for another..It gives us a sense that the idea of reality is blurry and abstract...

Reality can sometimes be the source of our unhappiness and stress..It can sometimes break us into pieces..That is why a lot of us--at one point or another--have come to wish to drift away from reality and just stay and live in an illusion or a fantasy that is rather a more habitable place for us..where we can be just ourselves; where we can just enjoy, have fun, and not think about the consequences of our acts...Yeah, it may sometimes be called a form of escapism which has a notion of negativity...but come to think of it..who would not want to escape from reality, when reality is never fair, free and happy?Some says reality can make us happy.. IS it really true? IF it is, then why are we living in such an unhappy and cruel world? Why are there tears in our eyes? why are there feelings of mourning and grief deep within our hearts? Why are there deaths, violence, and war everywhere? Does these things, that are present in our so called "REAL WORLD", a proof that reality can make us happy? Then if it does, what kind of people are we, who rejoice in every death, famine, and calamities that our fellow people experiences in this infamous reality??Now, tell me..who wouldn't want to get out of reality? Can't we just get out of reality sometimes?
