I think this is an awesome new perspective. But, how do you differentiate between having to escape and having to unwind? It seems like youre saying that your life when you were young made escape appealing because you hated yourself. Do you love yourself (or hate yourself less) because youve survived long enough by escaping? Or were you able to 'quit' escapism because your life got better? I think, people making fun and happiness a part of their lives balanced to the work and pain are often the happiest strongest in character. However, those who simply arent happy, should they avoid escaping as well?
