I need to unleash my thoughts. Feeling the fire when I read a certain blog entry that completely fused me.

An escapism of reality.

Many people do that, especially in the materialistic society where brand, status, and money makes the world go round. I have a completely bias point of view where I take the stand that running away from reality with the consciousness of knowing what you think is right does not help when you succumb and indulge in your temptations and vices. And people indulge in them in unhealthy activities such as clubbing, drinking, racing, and having sex. Certainly I'm not an exception to escapism of reality for I am human and I have my weaknessess just as anybody else. But my escapism of reality lies in my abode of oneness in the God I believe and more, groundedly, in writing and submerging myself in my books. Call me a nerd if you want to. So what?

Then again, the escapism attitude that takes control of oneself in that situation, serves to only make one dwell in guilt, where some are so used to feeling guilty that their own consciousness is numbed by the many layers of superficiality. And so many are blinded to that. What then, is the downfall of your humanity and pure consciousness when you succumb to temptations of lust, greed and jealousy???

Not to let the escapism attitude into your working world and "living" world, seems such an irony when it is PART of your world but certainly, does not EXACTLY and ENTRELY revolve around your world, or if it does, then it will be addiction.

The sense of surreality only gives the momentary excitement and happiness, but after that moment and when you are back to reality, does that not bring you back to square one and back to earth where all seems but a mound of problems which are piled one after another. The eyes look everywhere else BUT yourself, refusing to search deep within what is wrong. What blatant criticism to "pity those who hide behind angelic facade"!!! JUST because they don't follow the slavery of temptations and be a follower of your activities!!!

Indulging in momentary excitement and happiness, do not serve to bring about one's true character. A true character in definition is one that consists of one's ideals, morals, beliefs...and one's perspective of life and how one deals with things and situations in life. There is a thing called self-control and discipline. Humans being humans, we are tempted every now and then, religious people are of no exception, but it is really a matter of how you control your desires to steer away from vices and temptations - by chanelling them to other means for the better of yourself and for the rest around you.

Enough is enough. WAKE UP!!!!
Then again, this person will never see this post. Bleah.
