The news, gossip, small talk, violent or sensual entertainment, a glass of your preferred intoxicant- they all serve to distract us- from the accumulated ills of our inner and outer world. They serve as an escape. Escaping from something is inevitably postponing it, perhaps even burying it it the point where it will remain with you as an inseparable element of your psyche.
Why not face reality, face it with strength, and allow yourself to move on.
