We all self-medicate. It’s our tendency as humans to try to make ourselves feel better when we don’t feel great.
Some of us eat comfort foods. Some of us drink alcohol or take other drugs.
We look for distractions. As a society, we reward the people who can distract us and make us feel better: celebrities, video game makers, movie and television creators, even YouTubers. Oh, and authors…
It’s a sign that the World we’ve created isn’t perfect by a long shot. We frequently need a vacation from it.
