الْـهُـروبِـيَّـة (Escapism);
Typically, the term "escapism" had been viewed under a negative light, despite its various fields of practice for individuals; Some choose substance abuse and the like to escape reality, while some use creativity and arts - whatever it is, that doesn't seem to budge the negative view of such a term.
Anyway, far off from the world of psychology or whatever science that deals with such a phenomenon (or disorder, if you will?), let's ask the other way around: How sound or wise it is, to face our realities? Doesn't the mind need a break from all of this so-called reality (big part of which is filled with non-sense)? This is not a call to legitimize or think "positively" about substance abuse; No. What I'm saying here, probably the solution to this lies in preventive measures and re-direction of attitude. Honestly, though, even what might be called "positive" or "creative" escape, would still be harmful when done in an excessive manner; so much that a person can be addicted to it, in the face of a harsh reality that can't be changed (not with their own humble capabilities).
One hole in the boat, probably can be mended with a finger until you reach the nearest dock, maybe? But when the holes keep appearing, how much one would be willing to mend the boat, or how many fingers can be used in such situations? Similarly, when life hammers one with games of luck, how often one is willing to gamble in the game of success and failure? It might be argued, that escape it all, is the safest route to sanity (or insanity if you will)… Let's now leave that boat there afloat still and not shake it until it's time to wake up - till then, whenever you see someone living in another world than your own reality, check out the gambles that they've lost against life already… I'm sure you'll understand.
