Everyday Psychology
BY Oh. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Evadiug Reality.

Philosophers and psychologists down
through the centuries have kept telling
the world that the chief thing about hui
man nature Is its dominant tendency to
escape the harsh and devastating reali-
ties of everyday affairs.
Some philosophers have gone so far
as to declare that there As no real world,
that what we call the world is q fiction
Of the imagination. Nihilism Is the
name Of that philosophy, good philos-
ophy for hard times
Psychologists have proposed the theory
that the human mind Is forever plotting
some scheme to get the body away from
painful situations, /. e., inventing some
way to retreat from reality.
If there Is q human instinct to twist,
warp, and evade the realities of reality,
these psychologists have made a very
good case In favor of 1t.
The most natural, easy, and safe way
to get away from the world Is to 60 to
sleep. The average man spends eight
hours out Of every "a in this way. The
psychological explanation of sleep is
evasion. And then, What dreams may
Gomez" Anything but representation Of
reality.
Then the psychologists goes on to
enumerate other forms Of retreat from
reality. In the order Of their ruthless
ness they are: Coffee, self-praise,
smoking, alcohol, morphine, insanity,
suicide.
