Его Величество Альдо Первый Кавайный, Коварный и Неотразимый (с)))
There are some things I'll never accept about the "real world". Some really, really bad things, that shouldn't be allowed to exist. Oh no, mistake there... everything should be allowed to exist. Just not everything should exist really, even if it is allowed to. Heh I'm getting philosophical there. It's just there are a number of things that really make you unhappy. And you shouldn't be unhappy in your life. The purpose of life is not to have a good "real-life" relationship, or a good job, or a lot of money. The purpose of life is to be happy.
1) I hate it when people say "this is life". Meaning something very, very bad. Hey, it isnt. It's just the crap that happens in life. It's not that yours or mine life should be like that. It's not that we should accept it. We are meant to be happy, not sighing and continue living in the situations where we are hurt, saying "this is life". YOU choose your life. You choose where to live and how to live. You can pursue your dreams and try to get the life you WANT, not the life you have. Or, if you look at it and see that sadly you can't achieve it no matter how hard you try - such things happen sadly - or if you are tired, or if you want to be happy right now not in some distant future... you can choose to switch worlds, to come to your Otherworld, where you have all your dreams come true. It's not sad, it's not stupid, it's not delusional. If everything you have is a cell and you are in for a life-sentence, you can turn into a bird and fly out the window into the blue sky where the sun is shining. It is a matter of choice.
2) This point somewhat follows from the first. When people say "this is life", they often mean that it so happened (meaning the crap or the hurt or the pain happened), and there can't be done and couldn't have been done anything about that because "life" doesn't give guarantees. This is a serious point indeed. Only again, the rebel person that I am, I can't grasp why on earth should we accept it. Actually, if you look at it closely, even the "real world" does give some guarantees. If you touch fire, you'll get burnt. If you miss work a lot of times, you'll get sacked. If you have a lot of money, you'll be able to afford a lot of nice material things (but that doesn't guarantee your happiness). If you have nice friends who understand you, you'll feel good. These things are very simple, but there are some things more complicated that work this way too. You learn from experience, for good things and for bad things. And you can draw conclusions. Or you can choose not to, if you like. And these conclusions shouldn't be governed by what the majority of society thinks you should try to achieve in your life. Or not achieve.
For example, I don't do drugs. I know that there are people who do, and that it gives them a feeling of happiness, and some say it even connects them to the Otherworld. But I think this is a wrong way, one that is bound to injure you severely as a result. But I do dream of going to a rainforest and admire its beauty... even though there can be snakes there. Though in this "real world" I will not take snakes to bed, as in this "real world" they can hurt me (read that as you will). In the Otherworld, I can do that as I talk to snakes and they are my friends and wouldn't hurt me. As other creatures.
3) (And perhaps foremost.) Quite a lot of people in the "real world" don't value Love as the Magic and Miracle it is. You can witness it on all levels, from wars to personal relationship sufferings. I think that is in the nature of every being to love and to express their love. It is beautiful and wonderful. But in this world, many people value their illusional "independence" more. The independence is nothing but a myth, you can die anytime, your company can go bankrupt, you can suddenly wake up in the morning and find out that you are utterly alone. Love is real. Love is the other side of Magic, its soul and essence. Love is the expression of the divine Power. Love is the bridge between the worlds. Imagine a magical creature in this world, a creature made of Love and Magic, which comes up to someone and offers its Love with all its magical powers and beautiful indescribable Otherworlds. The creature smiles and says, "I Love You." It is beaming with magic, it is overflowing with it, welcoming you to share it, to be happy together, to engulf yourself in this happiness and warmth, which heals all the hurts and scars, and is a gift straight from the Otherworld. But... most people in this world will reject the creature. They will hurt it by running away from the Love it brings. They do that because they are afraid, because if you accept that Love, your fragile myth of "independence" is over, because the fears protect themselves, not wanting to be immerged and dissolved in that warmth. Because the Love creature is directly from the Otherworld, shining with its magic, and would inevitable shatter the gray "reality", painting it with many colours. You have either to hide the creature, or to send it away altogether, becoming another zombie-follower of the "independence" and "self-sufficiency" cause which is so popularin this "real world".
Well, I will do neither. My Love creature will shine in all its Otherworld splendour. I will not let it be damaged and stabbed in the heart again, sending it to a particular unworthy "real-world" dweller. My Otherworld love nurtures it, and has one of its own, which I nurture as Love should be nurtured. But I will do more than that. I will let my Love creature speak, to all who may hear it, to all who may understand it and have magic Love creatures of their own, or perhaps once had but had them hurt or gravely injured. Because, and that is the good thing, Love creatures never die. They are immortal, as Love is immortal, and they may as yet change the world from the sad place that it is. And they will.
