One of the most common problems people, and some of them close to me, face is that they live in a make believe world. Its a world where they are not treaded upon, they are respected, nothing bad happens, and they are at peace. However this is the worst kind of subterfuge anyone can go through. It tends to block our contact with the real world, makes us snide and full of hate towards it, until the point when people start leaving it. Maybe 'Finding Neverland' is one such movie, which promotes this point, and in a way asks us to be imaginative, to think different. There the child had lost his father, and then his mother, and he starts imagining, about his mother... But is it advisable? No, at whatever cost, we should never lose track of the reality, because it can lead to pschzophrenia in serious cases. Howmuchever we may be despised, hated, ridiculed, there is always some hope. there are friends you can look upto, and ultimately the neverending belief in god. Maybe this was the reason i stopped reading frivolous fiction, like John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, and moved on to more serious, and in many ways, depressive fiction. It makes me see, that life can be worse, and much worse than our imagination, that is why whichever state we are in, should be thanked for. It has unfortunately made me a sadist, but if given an option, which would you take?
i know that i at least have my bearings attached to the ground...

u think toooooooooo much.... depressin books are not always so comforting... where is my sweet ,,, normal brother??
technical thingy..noone becomes schizophrenic by simply imaginin things...a person with the disorder has other factors which trigger off the whole snapping away from reality bit..so its not the imagiation that makes you schizophrenic..it is a result of having the disorder that you hallucinate..
Imagining a fantastic scenery where you would be much better than what you are now or even entirely different as a person is a tendency, and not a disorder. Even successful people and acclaimed achievers sometimes, in their hearts of hearts may have an urge to be someone else. But where a firm rooted awareness of reality comes into picture is a question of attitude. Plunging oneself into utopia of flawless lives is not merely a subterfuge, its your outlook at how you use such a enchanting scenery to your cause. Simply rusticating in its aimless pursuit without making a plausible effort for it, thats subterfuge. People, who fascinate a lot, about many perfectionist scenarios but feel such an sense as an empowerment are at times a lot more hopeful than the ones dabbling in arid practicality. Perhaps, thats what we might call, Inspired Living.
