Why do we have such a strong urge to distract ourselves from the real world

We're trained this way... To drug ourselves, watch television, consume as much as possible... We don't have to do this, but it's much easier than putting the weight of world issues on our shoulders. I would conversely say that our natural urge is to solve problems, to try and live a better life. It's just that this life has become so unbearable and hopeless, so we suppress our natural desires... We shut out nature, remove ourselves from it, drug ourselves up, focus on instant gratification... And by suppressing our need to better our lives, we're perpetuating all kinds of violence, and not accomplishing much else. There's so much waste going on in this world. Waste of resources, waste of life and soul. It doesn't have to be this way.

too many assholes all at once, needs a little soda water and ice. :P

Because reality sucks

Energy conservation

Escape is an addiction.

Our brain tries to fool itself that everything is all right by escaping /postponing your shit

cuz we do not want to see what destroyers humanity truly is.

We gotta entertain ourselves somehow

😈Fantasy is funner!
