Escaping Reality

A Story by Arianne Lomocso

Escaping Reality

 

Some people are bored being in reality

Some people just want to be free

They feel alone in the real world

But they feel like they can do everything in the imagined world.

 

Reality is where you were born

Reality is where you were raised

Reality is where you encounter other beings

Reality is where you feel pain

Reality is where you can feel your heart beating

Reality is where you learn how to love

Reality, this is the hard part.

 

Fantasy is where you create your own world

Fantasy is where your happiness is unending

Fantasy is where you feel wanted

Fantasy is where your comfort is

Fantasy is where you feel everything is perfect

Fantasy, this is the easy part.

 

But you were born in the real world

The real world is where you belong

Fantasy is not that bad

But do you know the definition of fantasy?

A hallucination, a supposition based on no solid foundation

All the things you feel in the fantasy world are not real

 

 

 

Would you rather live in you fantasy world?

Or

Live in the reality where you can truly feel something.

 

Reality might give you unwanted things

Reality might be cruel for you

Reality might be hard for you

Reality might be a painful place to be in

But you learn from all the pain you’ve experienced

You learn every cruelty there is

 

Once you have learn those things

You can control it.

 

All of this might not make sense right now

But reality is better than being in the fake world

The fake world where nothing is real, just imagined things to satisfy your needs,

You might feel alone in reality but the fake world is more secluded.

 

Which world would you rather want to be in?

The Real or The Fake?

Thanks for sharing. I really like this. i like to spend a lot of time in the made up world. But you are right. You have to deal with reality as well. I think if you are able to balance the two, that is the best place to be. What if you are able to create a world where you have to deal with reality but in every reality you are able to see the fantasy of what might be if you were to do such and such. Maybe you can begin to use the experience in reality, combined with the fantasy of what you would imagine it to be and make your own current reality. Just some thoughts. You got me thinking lol

Thanks for the review. I like how you think I agree with your opinion. Thanks 😊


From a theological point of view it is truth that sets people free and if the truth is not revealed to them they live in a delusion (fantasy) and further they are caused to believe the delusion. Popular culture suggests that the ability or free will is within a person to make a choice, but this is a powerful delusion.

I can count on one finger the people I have met in the last 15 years who live in and thrive on truth and reality.

Nice work.
