Hollywood, Bollywood, stage, music books we love all forms of entertainment. It helps us to escape. We can feel the emotions with the characters, share their laughter and tears. We are able to learn about life in condensed form, from birth to death and everything in between. We can love, hate, relate, befriend and believe in people from a safe distance. We can romance about the perfect life, and see a perfectly good life fall into ruins and rise again to glory. We can see a beloved book come to life on the screen or crash and burn into a cinematic failure. We day dream about the stars and imagine them really being the characters they portray. Our reality is designed to need a little escape now and then, a time to break from the necessities of life to enjoy the pleasures of the escape. Where the endings are happy, the reality is not real and we can choose to participate or not ,a lot or a little, for a short or long time in the stories that unfold. We can pause entertainment and save it for later, a chance that real life never gives us. We have do overs, and under done's, with the consequence of our time spent always being purely for entertainment, a guilty pleasure very few of us can do without. So after a long day of life, enjoy a cup or two of entertainment.... You will be glad you did
