Nothing wrong with escaping here and there if responsibilities are fulfilled.

The problem is when escapism becomes the purpose of living.

The great lie of western culture is that we are first and foremost, individuals and we should strive for maximum freedom i.e. our purpose is to be free. Let's take a look at the people in the world that can afford maximum freedom and have no practical accountability and see how/what they're doing.... yeah...

Purpose is important. If purpose strays too far away from "the best for others", bad things start happening really fast.
