The world we live in is a tough place. I could fill volumes with the atrocities that have been perpetrated by mankind since this morning alone (as I write these words it is only 5 pm, meaning there's still time for more atrocities before the day ends).
There are many ways to cope with the challenges that life offers. By "challenges" I mean "hardships". People who use the word "challenge" are implying that once you overcome all the hurdles, you finally win. Rubbish. Is the bottomless pit of hell full of challenges?! The only true winner is one who overcomes death. If you don't beat death, then all perceived victories during your life are little more than little battles won, because in the end you lose the war.
Fighting life's little battles are a futile expense of energy. It is best to shun the world's (and your own) troubles and hide inside a cult (like ours) and blissfully ignore "reality" (ie. everyone else's problems, including your own).
Don't let society call you a coward or a weakling for "dropping out of life". Those who criticize you are jealous that they themselves didn't have the courage break away from society and they want you to come back (misery loves company). Let them have their great causes, their personal struggles. Let them comfort themselves with claims that adversity helps to develop character and add wisdom. As far as I am concerned, to develop character and grow wiser is small consolation for a life that has lacked even a moment of pleasure. I prefer to be a characterless dummy enjoying paradise than a wise man in hell.
MOONDWABI WINS THE WAR: There is no greater victory over life's challenges than ignoring them completely. Oh, how those challenges hate to feel ignored - just listen to all the psychiatrists and educators rant and rave on behalf of challenges. They want you to "develop character" and "learn wisdom" by living in their difficult and miserable world and overcoming challenges until you die. They want you to "accomplish something productive" by contributing to their stupid society. When you turn your back on them and follow Moondwabi to enjoy a life of constant pleasure, they accuse you of escapism. They are correct. You've escaped! They are still trapped!
So, how do you cope with life on Earth? You don't! Certainly if you have no choice other than to live on Earth all your life until you die, then you need to cope. But we of Moondwabi have an option! Moondwabi offers us this mantra, three words that contain all the wisdom you need to cope with life: "I'm outta here!"
And in a few years, when the Prophet Marvin comes to take us to the Planet Zygone, then we really will be "outta here".
Is this escapism? Well, not exactly. I wouldn't call our belief an "ism". This is pure and simple escape. Moondwabi wants to help you to escape to freedom.
