The Bubble of Make Believe

So many use books and movies to escape the problems they face. They surrender to imaginary pleasures, forgetting to rejoin the human race. They are entranced by spun fantasies, woven for the brain's delight. Each time reality slaps their face, they choose fantasy as their sight. The sweet sugar of imagination takes them away from worldly pain. But they refuse to feel the treasure of reality's harsh stain. Everyone lives happily ever after in their bubble of make believe. It's just a matter of time until life shows them how to grieve.
