Escapes are a good stress reliever, as shown in the novel, that leads to creativity and community.

Certain escapes are only temporary- a circle in which you leave and come back to but certain things within this circle allow it to be bearable

Escapes are vital to a healthy society and are a positive way to avoid outside problems.

Escapes allow people to ignore problems in the real world that lead to corruption and instability.

Self-respect is most the most powerful trait as it leads to maturity

Acceptance is the smartest option in situations you can't change or have any control over.

Sometimes you just gots to do what gots to do

Self-identity is the most powerful resource- by removing this you remove choice, opportunity, and freedom
