Fantasy

“the ability to fantasize is the ability to survive, and the ability to fantasize is the ability to grow” by Ray Bradbury

Reality seems like such a downer. From the quote, one cannot survive without imagining a life outside of reality.. is this truly how things roll these days?

Early civilisations came up with fairy tales and folk lore, to explain the things they don’t understand and bring a sense of control over the frightening unknown. The society now intends to create a world that is not real, to enable people to escape the world they do know. This 180 degree shift somewhat validates that truely, ignorance can be bliss?

What would you, if you could, choose to be ignorant about in exchange for bliss? Then again there is already ignorance pre-set in life; like how unreservedly you offer your love to your pet, not knowing then that when they die, you will be crushed in equal amounts by how much love you gave them; or a child wishing nothing more than to grow up, only to realize being an adult can truly suck.

Maybe it’s not wishing for ignorance or fantasy, I choose to have the ability to just stay (blissfully!) in a moment in time.
