This man has the right idea. Othewise move to this place:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania

In all seriousness, the world isnt that bad, look at the advancess, no more small pox, weve not had a plague in ages, world travel is available to more people than at any time ever, communication such as the inernet, phone sms etc allow us to talk with others thousands of miles away in real time.

Sure somethings are shitty but you have to look at the big picture. Things are pretty sweet.

I tend to read, watch, or play something fictional because I have more empathy for fictional people than real ones.

Evil is subjective.

You can become an office worker who just gets on with his/her pencil pushing, twisted into to so-called normality, not questioning your government or world.

You can enjoy alcohol with friends and family, do it with your lover, play video games, read books, watch movies... in this day and age, the options available for entertainment are numerous.

I would seriously not recommend the first option.

Just now I was going through the forums here and found threads about the economy, tax and wellfare and war and so on and so fourth and I found them rather depresing to think that no matter whitch way we turn we shall always have a problem or bad situation so I have decided once again I want OUT! out of the world but short of dieing or going insane a permenant solution is not going to happen any time soon, so how do you escape from the world of cruel "real"? and if a permenant solution was avalabale would you take it?
Hell no.

If I committed suicide, I'd miss out on things like garlic bread.

The way I deal with the negatives in the world is by looking forward to the positives. I deal with work because it means I'll have money. I deal with having to pay rent because it means I'll have a roof over my head.

The next time someone tells you that the world sucks, shoot them - between the eyes - because they sure as hell don't belong here with that attitude.

Well, the world do sucks on so many points right now and we don't know when the world will be sucked into a black hole or hit by a meteor, but that could had happened a long time ago.
So, but when I really need to escape the world I listen to music, or watch movies, though I also play games and watch a lot of anime, that is just about fun.

Oh the reason for quote christania is a really nice place you know, the people there are wierd but really cool ^^

I play a fun video game or watch some heartwarming animé/ comedy. Laughter is the best medicine (after chainsawing aliens to death BWAHAHA)

I, for one LOVE the world!
I love the whole world, with all its crazy things...
Like Garlic Bread?...
"GARLIC BREAD? Garlic bread? Garlic? Bread? Am I hearin' you right? Garlic bread? No, thank you, I've got some milk roll in t'case that'll do me. The toasty loaf. The garlic bread!"

Shouldn't be too tough to understand the reference...

Anyway, for escapism, I like to act. I hide away from the world normally but give me a stage and some lines to learn, and I am in my element. Acting is just perfect for me...

Perhaps you can change your perspective. What is good/evil is in the eye of the beholder. People can cloak their own pursuits in "goodness" and paint their opposition as "evil", but ultimatley people just want to further their own goals. Unfortunately many people do this at the cost of others. This makes life miserable for the rest of us in one way or the other.

I personally would love to live in an honest and fair society where people play by the golden rule (don't do unto others you that you wish not done unto you). They realize their actions have far reaching consequences and selfish behavior may hurt themselves or their loved ones (in the present and in the future). Also for people to understand the power eventually corrupts and it's best to hold on to it for a limited time. But that isn't going to happen.

I used to think like you. Sick of all the selfishness, greed, lack of compassion. I saw all the fighting as a huge waste. Why is one willing to take so much at the cost of others? But then I read "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. The book talks about gaining and maintaing power, ways to attack and defend yourself from others. It gives historical examples of the laws he describes, then he goes into further explanation of the laws. The more I thought about it and recongnized these laws in my own life, I realzied then we are what we are as a species. I'm not trying to pitch the author's book or anything, but after I read it I didn't feel so bad. It helped me, maybe it can help you.

To bring out the Trekkie in me, I wish we were all more like Vulcans and used logic as the basis of our thinking. Remember the Vulcans were like us before their society evolved. Perhaps we'll come to a similiar evolution.

Whenever life hands me lemons, I cope by playing video games and online poker. Also, internet radio helps. And if I'm upset in a place without internet access, I drive, sometimes aimlessly.

Dear OP.

The world isn't evil. It's merely uncaring.

The only reason it's uncaring is because we don't care.
