Distraction/Deception

Thinking about distraction. Many men use distraction as means to cope with a life they find unliveable. They would rather indulge in entertainment than face the crippling mundanity of their everyday lives. They feel there are no means of meaningful progression so they live out what they perceive as unattainable through mindless entertainment. Pornography takes the place of intimacy. Gaming the place of adventure and achievement. Mindless Scrolling or Social Media Consumption the place of a meaningful community. Distraction is addiction. And the drug isn’t what makes you an addict, it’s what you’re running away from.
