Stay Away From This World...For a Moment

Maybe it's not like a philosophy, but more like a personal expression about this cruel world. Make no mistake. Seeing the dark side of the world doesn't mean we are pessimistic, but realistic. Life is fun sometimes, but it can be very painful too. This life is indeed full of up and down. Staying away from this world is simply just trying to make a distance from this hard life... for a moment, with a good reason.  

I know, it's not easy as it sounds. Many people get stuck to their daily chores, job, or study, which make them almost impossible to stay away from this nasty world. Lucky for them who are able to take time to escape from this world to refresh their mind. Maybe it's actually about time management. No matter how busy we are, it could be better for us to take time to stay away from this world... by doing meditation, yoga, or just doing hobby.

I'm not a philosopher, a wise man, or any great person with great achievement. I'm just a regular guy who happens to like writing. I don't write very often too. I just thought that being busy doing this and that is good, but sometimes for some people it's just like a pointless activity. They do that simply to get money, but not to find happiness or peace of mind.

I might be wrong. It's a sure thing we all need money. Maybe money is not the most important thing in life, but money can solve many problems, right? Staying away from this world means we still need money, but not very much. Simply just enough to buy our basic needs. The ultimate goal perhaps is searching for happiness and doing good things in society. Rich in money is good, but rich in heart could be something better. Once again, I might be wrong.

How do I stay away from this unfair world? Simple, just try to have enough money, do my hobbies, and be a humble kind man. It's not super, just normal. Most of the time, I do meditation too. I go travel around the city by public bus almost every day. It's actually for my daily workout as well as to get inspiration. I also like doing sport and eating healthy food to stay in a good shape. I'm not married and so far it's good for my peaceful life style. This all is not a recommendation of course, just my ways to make a distance from this painful world. Well, maybe you should try to find yours.
