About This Quote
There are some people who are incapable of getting out of the house. They only seem to be able to enjoy reading books or watching movies with their friends. For many, reading is a way of escaping the real world where there is no escape from problems. These individuals are missing out on the excitement of being in this reality.
There are other people who are able to escape into another world where everything is perfect. This can be a wonderful thing. Many people use writing or reading as a way of coping with the difficulties in their lives, and that is okay—if they can do it without getting lost in fantasy and losing touch with reality.
