stardustcboy's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Escapism... hmmm...i ran off on a huge tangent in that last entry...i did have a point... escapism the need for us to step outside ourselves for a while. to look at ourselves and our thoughts more objectively...or to live out thoughts that would otherwise be considered "dangerous" or "wrong". escapism is nothing more than a pressure valve for the mind...a way to release negative thoughts and feelings in constructive manner that is unharmful to people around you. we tend to repress what we feel because of various social/societal pressures. we begin to think that what we feel is "wrong" or "invalid" because of circumstance or whatever...but the truth is what you feel at any given moment is just as important as anyone elses feelings and it is best to get them out right then and there rather than pen them up for release elsewhere. but such is not the way with people. we tend to always desire honesty...but recoil in terror when someone speaks the truth. what are we to do? i know that i'd much rather have someone yell at me and tell me that i'm making them feel like shit rather than hold it in and pretend everything is hunky-dory. at least then you open a dialogue in which things can be discussed and comprimises can be made. but that's hard when people always tend to be on the defense. catch 22 i suppose. ~B-) 5:45 p.m. - 2002-12-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
