What is real? What is fake? Most of us have a had time dealing with the reality set for us. We like to see ourselves in a place other then the one we are in. Every passing day becomes more difficult and really gets hard to bear. We like to go to theme parks, and participate in events that take us out of the norm. It's always nice to think that just for one day we get to enter a world of fiction and fantacy. We get to imagine that we are these charaters, and that we had the freedom to be whoever we want in this imaginary world.

Unfortunately is also awakens our senses to the fact that the real world is a lot different. Janet H. Murray and Jean Baudrillard have their own views and theories of why people feel the need to escape from the reality of life. In most situations it is clear what is real and what is fake. But there are those moments when you just need to experience something else. We are never happy with what we have. There is always something that we want, while others don't even have anything close to what you have. Those that have everything are still not happy, because they have feeling like they are missing something. Until we can look at ourselves and completely be happy there will always be the need to imagine and simulate certain events. But also remember that a great mind is always attacted to the person who is capable of dreaming up great inventions and innovations from his / her imagination.
