Escape

Sometimes people complain that they want to go somewhere and escape from their everyday life.

But in a sense, our everyday life is our form of escape.

We fill our lives with many things. We make ourselves busy with work, relationships and hobbies. We spend all our time doing every day things and we complain about not having enough time to ourselves.

But the true reason why we are filling ourselves with so many things is because we are escaping from reality, from thinking about the true issues in life, from thinking about the questions of life and death.

Maybe we all learn that tackling these complicated issues in life will bring us much grief and stress, while escaping from these thoughts with everyday trivial things making us busy, will bring stability. And on top of that our escapes from our escape will give us short moments of joy and fun.

Maybe it is much happier to be a simple person who escapes for most of their life, then a person who thinks and analyses about such complex issues for most of their life.

But the irony of the whole situation is this:
The more you try to escape, the harder it is to escape.
