Escapism: An unfulfilled dream

I wonder how everything we have around us still sticks to what it is despite the amount of impurity it holds. Nature says it will all end one day because of what is happening today. 90s are gone and gone are the times I used to have outdoors, messing around in the mud and not bothering about the hour for which I was allowed to watch tv. It is just society and its norms that rule the minds now. Just when I was about to give up on my dreams of becoming 'me', a destined knock came to the doors of my being. A friend put 'Into the Wild', an English  movie, in my pen-drive and forced me to watch it, though I had been avoiding the same for quite sometime 'cause I knew it would change me. Directed by Sean Penn, this movie is a biographical account of Christopher Johnson McCandless, popularly known as Alexander Supertramp. For a year that my friend bragged about this fellow, I felt he was a crazy man. I mean who on earth would want to burn all his money, abandon his car and trash out all his identifications just to go on an expedition in Alaska? 'Into the Wild' changed my take on Mr. Supertramp. There are great movies; there are great directors; and then, there are great stories. If I could ever pull in myself to escape and leave the superficial for the society to enjoy, I would die any day after that without regrets. Escapism is a tough thing. People used to curse hippies in the 90s and even today, many social sects don't accept them as sane beings. Escapism is not becoming a hippie. Christopher McCandless was not a hippie. Escapism for me is a gift from me to myself. Escapism is pure.
