I just want to escape reality

We are all slaves to the obscenely rich who coast through life never having to be inconvenienced, stressed, or demanded to work in order to survive.

How can I possibly feel motivation to do anything when these expert manipulators get all the reward for everyone else's effort?

For years I have mooched off significant others and done nothing but use escapism to avoid the harsh reality that life is only good if you are born into the right circumstances, otherwise you will have to scrape and force yourself to care about boring, menial tasks on a daily basis in order to continue being allowed to live.

I know this is incredibly selfish, but the most successful members of society are the most selfish because they were handed everything for zero work and constantly told this fact makes them superior geniuses while being handed leadership roles that affect those who actually do have to work to live.

I hate hate hate that this is our reality. Selfishness, greed, and apathy are celebrated and rewarded. Hard work and loyalty are taken advantage of.

I use escapism to pretend I don't exist in this world because any time I am forced back to reality the sheer helplessness and sheeplike worship of the status quo makes me feel sick and want to react violently. I am so tired of feeling worthless because evil men won a long time ago.

The only thing keeping me alive is the hope that advances in virtual reality and sensory emulation technology will finally allow me to fully escape and immerse in a world far from the broken one we inhabit.
