Is escapism good?

Today, I want to talk about whether escapism is good or not. To write a conclusion, if you keep the motivation to solve your problems, escapism is not a bad thing. If you use Twitter, you might have read the statement, "If you have worries, you should go to a hot spring and eat delicious food nearby. Happy things make you strong." When I read this sentence, I had serious worries, so I felt angry. I thought, "Even if I go to a hot spring or eat delicious food, my problems won't be solved." I didn’t want to hear that irresponsible and useless advice—I wanted to solve my problems.

Today, I have no serious worries. Even though I have difficult problems, I never feel depressed.

Solving personal problems is similar to solving math word problems, like those we learned in primary school. Solve the simple factors first, and the difficult factors will also be solvable.

I had difficult problems in my life, so I went to Fushimi Inari Shrine a few days ago. After visiting Fushimi Inari, I realized that some problems are easy to resolve,  I had misunderstandings about my work, and I got a new idea about my work.

When we have a serious problem, we may also have other problems that can be solved. Escapism helps our mind turn to those solvable problems, and new ideas come to us.
A traditional form of escapism is going to a shrine, and this has positive effects.
The benefit of going to a shrine is called "goriyaku" by Japanese people. "Goriyaku" uses the same kanji as "profit," and it means "benefit."
