The purpose behind this point is just to make people think about their behavior, their actions and their state of mind. Ya, i know i am nobody to tell you this, but just read through this and you will realize my point of view.
We live in a world where we have to think about ourselves. Our world is surrounded with many problems, difficulties, struggles and various kind of pressures. With this kind of environment, our mind is full of all the 'me stuff'..'meri padai, mere dost, mera kaam, mera ghar, mera carrier etc... ' ..you MIND IS LONELY..fed up of this LONELINESS..and when this happens, without letting you know, it tries to run away from this... And perhaps because of this we are in a HABIT OF ESCAPING THINGS..!
Facebook, orkut and these social networking sites are nothing but a place where we can project our IDEAL SELF. People WRITE BIG STUFF, STUFF from which they will get ATTENTION, stuff from which THEY CAN GAIN SYMPATHY..
Haven't you noticed that when you listen something interesting, read something good, you mind naturally thinks to put his on facebook,orkut etc..Why ?? Because you all know that this will bring comments from people..and what will happen ?? you will get attention..so that you can ESCAPE, you can live in a VIRTUAL world, where people like you..listen to you..and HERE YOUR MIND FINDS PEACE..it is FINALLY IN A PLACE WHERE IT CAN BREAK ITS LONELINESS...! WHERE IT CAN ESCAPE...
Think about it..Why does your mind thinks about going to internet, thinks about the TV serials, thinks about going with friends so naturally..why are all these things so inviting ? what makes them so important in your life ? what makes them the thing to die-for ?? Its nothing but the game of mind..the behavior of mind is natural but it is wrong..
If you reflect deeply, mind gets attached to two types of things..one you like and one you dislike..and repels stuff which is boring..you read things which you find interesting twice or thrice but you coolly forget to read something which is boring..why because mind will never like to do that EVEN IF IT IS IMPORTANT..
and that is why..you go to net..your mind likes that...it likes this attention..likes this sympathy, popularity and it wants to get lost in this world..it feels bored to go back to those boring things, day to day stuff which is important..
If you really think about it, try to understand it, my blogging is also nothing but a piece of attention seeking behavior..why am i writing this blog ? if i know it, why do i want to tell other..because somewhere subconsciously my mind wants to get attention..sympathy..it wants to break free...!
Well, knowing, realizing your thoughts and facing them makes all the difference..its like the difference between using a machine and knowing how it works and then using it..and if you realize and tap this energy, that is what makes all the difference in the world..!
Know yourself, don't just read..realize this..try to sit in a room quietly, away from phone, tv, internet etc. and sit quietly..you wont be able to manage your thoughts..and that is when you realize that what is right and what is not..!
Comments welcome..!

But don't you think blogging is not merely a way to get 'attention' but also a way to tell other subconscious minds to think the way you feel they see this world!!
Its not the only way to tell how you see the world and want respect for your vision but also the way to tell others"Lets try this, may be world will be a better place to live by then"
You actually don't want to live in virtual world by blogging but you tend to bring out some virtual things to reality by it!!
Not all blogging is like that..if i seek respect from my blogging ..then my mind wants attention..if u r at peace with yourself..why do u want to write..why do u want to tell it to the world..why do u put it on facebook ?? why ? why do u want to be popular..
i am not saying that it is bad..it is wrong..but it is a way mind is trying to fulfill its needs..desires..
thanks for the comment anyway..!
no one said you want to be popular thats why you write!!
And changes have to be made definitely when you are not at peace with your mind!!
ok Take this..
Whats the need of putting "Dr." in front of the name of person..
does he seek respect or attention by this or he merely wants to tell the crowd that if you are injured you can come to me!!
In the end every1 is human so there must nt b any tag of degree in front of ur name!
You are totally not getting what i am saying..we all say that we write for the sake of it..maybe you write so..but then don't post it..tell me..why do you post it ?? why do you even want the people around you to know about it ?? why ??
See, it is not that our every action is toward seeking attention, escapism..i said, when we our mind is full of 'me stuff'..after that it wants to break free...no doubt..you may write for yourself..you may write to help people out..a people might put DR. in FRONT OF NAME TO TELL to come when he is ill..
but there are people who publicise their writing..their are doctors who JUST DO THEIR JOB FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY (greed for money is also a sort of escapism if u think about it..mind is not at peace)..
so, to summarise, not every action of yours is escapism, but many of them are.. (you can think yourself)..i can tell my various actions (other than mentioned..)..and that is nothing but a way of mind to escape the truth..!
well....you described escapism in quite a different context from what i have personally experienced...
You spoke about escaping from aone's own mind.....we escape from our surroundings,the consequences of our actions....even that is escapism....
