"Escapism" is an escape from reality...but which seems more real? A world where survival reigns, where living is by the sword or the plough...a "simpler world". Or is this time of hang-ups over checkbooks and haggling with bosses more tangible?
Sometimes I just wish to be left alone with what I can touch and taste as smell...and sometimes that world is the world of Middle Earth.
