In today’s use of slang, I would be considered a Twi-hard
and I am not afraid to shout it from the roof tops. Other people are potter-heads,
and others are just simply wizards and fairies. Whatever floats your boat I
guess. I have never really stopped to think about how we live in this world
with amazing scientific discoveries and huge inventions that we never could
have imagined before, yet, we still have this giant fascination with the
magical world. After thinking this over for a while, I started to think about
how I even came to liking these kinds of things? I personally am a reality over
fantasy in most aspects of my life, except entertainment.
My theory about why the world has such interest in fantasy
is that our imaginations like to run free. In the world today, we have become a
place with things we always thought were the future, so its not imagination
anymore. With fantasy, it is a way for our minds to be free again, imagine what
ever our hearts desire just for fun, no strings attached. With science today,
it all is worth something, and is accountable. That makes it not as much fun
for some people. Fantasy and magic is a strictly entertainment outlet, which
everyone needs every once in a while.
I agree that fantasy is many people's way of freeing their minds. They are able to put themselves into their fantasy lives by falling in love with the great looking vampire with super human strength. I guess that's why it seems that more people are interested in things like that than the amazing real life science discoveries that are actually happening.
ReplyDeleteThat is for sure why I am obsessed with it. I love science more than the average person but I also love me some Taylor Laughtner without a shirt. Watching movies is my way to relax after learning about science all day so I guessed that it is the same for other people as well.
