Our
lives are full of difficulties and hardships that enhance our capability for
survival. I once remembered my friend telling me that our world is like a large
forest surrounded by wild animals and in order to survive, we must battle this
dangerous animals.
But
we don’t have to fight all the time for we must sometimes sit back and relax.
Literally speaking, there are times that we can escape from life's hardships
and surrender our weapon. But always be sure that when you come back, you are
far greater than the last time you stand up and fight.
Sleep,
for others, is a form of rest. It is a routine, refreshment, quiet moment for
the mind & body, or perhaps, a hobby. But psychologists tell us that it is
one of the most common forms of escape. Escape from life's loneliness, sadness,
frustrations, rejections and from almost any possible problem.
There
are other kinds of escape. As for me, I find watching movies as a great escape
from the reality of life. I like the animated films and science fiction movies
which drive me away from what is happening around me.
Sometimes,
by watching a two and a half hour movie can relieve all your stress in the
body. Now, by doing those things, you are actually not escaping from the
reality but you are only pausing a moment of your life to think of a brighter
solution to your problem.
Trivia
about me: do you know that I really like the novel Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
and I follow its series of movies. I am fond of reading the novel again and
again and I've watched the films almost ten times up to the point that I had
already memorized every line in the movie.
What's
amazing is that every time I'm troubled or every time I'm stressed or having
problems, I just watch the films from its first installment up to the last and
I easily think of a solution to my problems. Just like magic and after having a
movie marathon, it's like everything has been back to its proper places.
