Escape it? Well there's always suicide, but the point is... you only live once. And life is hardly fair. In the end you can only influence your life and not decide it. If you take training to be a journalist but no news paper or other news media offers you a job, no matter how much you apply then were did your hard work go? If you write books but nobody reads them, no matter how fantastic they are, then you won't be a successful writer. If you open your own shops but the customers stay away even when you sell the best stuff in the world, you'll be bankrupted in now time. And still even with all those irrefutable truths in mind (some try to refute them, but those are fools), should you waste your life and feel bad about it? Even when everything's against you, there are always ways you may see an advantage somewhere. Only when you faced the unfairness of life, but still manage to benefit from it, you may say that you've lived. This is hard.... I know...

In order to escape life, just don't make it.
