Anime, Cartoons, Video Games & Adults

Over the past few years I've become enlightened on some things.  Not through anybody in particular but, through experiences and my own rambling thoughts.  Have you ever wondered why so many adults are drawn to Anime or Cartoons (yes, there is a difference), or playing dungeons and dragons or magick or a number of other things that most adults would consider "teen things"?  Well,  I think I've found the answer.
Look at the world around you today compared to 10, 20, or even 30 years ago.  Inflation, soaring gas prices, husband and wives both working outside of the home and barely making it, home foreclosures, the world keeps adding a ton of stress with no chance to relax.
Everyone needs a "brain break".  Anime, cartoons, video games, role playing (i.e. dungeons and dragons, and magick),  these allow adults a much needed break from the reality of the stresses of every day life.   Granted I don't really watch Anime and I'm in way an expert of Anime or the above role playing games, I certainly understand it.  I have many friends who participate and even "cosplay".  Yes, grown adults dressing up like their favorite characters of an anime or even cartoon or super hero and just letting go of the real world for awhile.
I think we all, as adults, need to find a way to relax because the world is going to keep moving forward and getting more hectic and I don't care who runs the country our gas prices are going to continue rise no matter who is running the country.

Get out!  Do Something Fun!  Embrace your inner teen!
