Fantastical Sanity

Some thoughts I wrote long ago that I thought I'd share.

Is it better to live

amongst our fantasies

guarded by the stone walls of ignorance

Just so long as it's pleasurable?

Or are we better left

to walk through this universe

with all its faults

and all its imperfections

and dangers that lurk every corner

Accepting it for what it is? 

Shall one salvage their sanity or come to grips with reality?

Very interesting question posed here. Fantasies (for most of us) are not usually evil in themselves, so I believe a little bit doesn't hurt. It's when an individual tends to hide within fantasies that trouble begins. Better to face the objective world, unpleasantness and all, for dealing with that unpleasantness successfully is a measure of growth.
