"Life: It Means Forever and That's a Mighty Long Time, But I Mean to Tell Ya...There's Something Else...

There is so much in this world that is worth living for and not everyone thinks of that in the same way. We all have our own functioning brains with the knowledge that we want to seek. Some on the other hand will share a love for the realms of fantasy. If you look at our society and most of the entertainment we seek, there is a vast majority that pertains to fantasy. From books, games, movies, plays, etc. we including myself enjoy a good story but why? Why are we drawn to different worlds? Why do you long for things that are not in our daily lives? Now I’m not going to sugar coat this because I’m going to speak my mind: the real world sucks. It is very true to me that the current life is not fun. We are expected to do what the others before us have done and fix their mistakes. But human life in this era is boring. With a game or fantasy we can escape this life for an hour or so. Maybe we can listen to another’s story or maybe make a costume and become that story. One of the greatest things in our brain is the imagination. That is what makes fantasy yearn to be sought out. But let’s take another turn at this: true that some use fantasy to escape the real world because they don’t enjoy it. Maybe they are bullied and in the fantasy realm they are seen as the best, but when you think about it fantasy was made from the real world meaning it is a part of it. They exist in the same plane so we should not treat them as different. Sometimes We all need an escape whither is fantasy or some other way because doing the same thing over and over can really wear you down. (Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla)
