Reality became something to avoid. Secretly and Slowly we developed a taste for escape. From our problems, from work, from the harshness of life. Our culture began to manufacture endless fantasies for us to consume. And fed on such illusions, we became easier to deceive, since we no longer had a mental barometer for distinguishing fact from fiction. As an individual you cannot stop the tide of fantasy and escapism sweeping a culture. But you can stand as an individual bulwark to this trend and create power for yourself. You were born with the greatest weapon in all of nature, the rational, conscious mind. Circumstances are conspiring to dull that weapon and render it useless by turning you inward and making you afraid of reality.
