How to escape

You know I've been reading some interesting discussions about islanders vs sailors. Life is hard sometimes, and we all need a break. We all want to live on a beautiful island and want to live our entire lives just relaxing, so you're not alone there. However, there is a problem with that. The thing about being an islander is that you limit actual growth on many levels. Pleasure is a false god, which is exactly what an island paradise is. I am a believer that hardship is somewhat necessary in one's life, because it gives you so many valuable lessons on what could have been done to make things better. Yes living on a beautiful island for the rest of your life and just relaxing is not realistic. We all have to contribute to the economy in order to make this world a better place, for the future generations that we will never meet. If you follow this path of an island paradise you will ultimately destroy yourself in the process day by day. You will never attempt to break out of your comfort zone. It is necessary to be hardened by life so that you build up this mental fortitude. I also had to go through this thought process as well. Of course it felt very blunt when I had to accept the reality of life, it stings but I know it's for the better.
