"我们不是为了逃避现实而创造一个幻想世界。我们创造它是为了能够留下来"
— Lynda Barry
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people imagine or create fantasy worlds not because they want to avoid real life, but because it helps them deal with it better. Think of it like reading an exciting book or watching a fun movie after a hard day. It gives your mind a break and makes you feel stronger and happier. For example, children often play pretend games, acting like superheroes or explorers. They know it's not real, but it makes their day more fun and helps them manage their feelings. Adults might do something similar, like writing stories, playing video games, or daydreaming. These activities make life more enjoyable and help people handle their problems with more energy and creativity. So, using imagination can actually make facing reality easier and more fulfilling.
