Question

an essay on an imaginary world that doesnt exist

Answer 1

Answer:

It's common but it's not what benefits you most. It's not natural to live in fantasy in your head instead of actualizing your dreams in reality.

What you're doing is coping with your frustration instead of facing it and allowing it to transform by fully feeling and expressing it. Without harming others.

Yes, the world is in a sorry state in a lot of ways.

What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to play the part of a victim and pretend you have no responsibility and no power to begin creating change?

Or are you going to acknowledge that for better or for worse (spoiler: it's for better) you're here on Earth and you probably have many years, many decades left here. And that you have the golden opportunity to do something about what you would prefer to see happen here and create something beautiful.

It doesn't have to be any more glamorous than being a kind and genuine person who uplifts the people who are already in your life. That has more effect than you might know.

I've felt frustrated with the world and sometimes still do. I've been lost in my own fantasies for years too. So I get it. But here I am to call you forward so that you don't beat yourself up over those wasted years like I did.

Use your frustration to get clarity on what you would rather experience here.

By letting your frustration turn inwardly in a denial and refusal to participate in your dreams and with reality you are cutting off your access to the greatest aspects of yourself.

The Universe adores your contribution to life on Earth but you must make it happen.

That's scary most of if not all of the time. Pursuing and manifesting your dreams takes guts.

It takes a discipline for doing what your heart knows is for the best more often than not.

Are you up for it?

If not you will wake up at the end of your life regretting it. And wishing you could do it all over. For your sake and for the sake of our planet I hope you don't stay inside fantasies.

Answer 2

There is another form of worldbuilding which I think readers are likely to be aware of - that of world creation for role-playing games, such as Dungeons and DragonBut this shares an important feature in common with the worlds created for mass-distributed fiction described above: the world exists, as it were, with some sorts of higher purpose beyond simply existing. Worlds in fiction are used as settings for stories; worlds in role-playing, similarly, as settings in which the game is played.My own world, though, is like neither of these. It has not been created for use in a story or a game. Rather, it has been created simply to exist, with my enjoyment of it coming entirely from the process of creation and the finished existing edifice. Other such worlds certainly exist, but they are relatively rare - or at least, I do not think there is so much awareness of them in the public consciousness. This lack of awareness is understandable - imagined worlds do not easily give themselves over to public presentation without having some sort of definite, traditional story to tell.It would be possible to tell stories in my imaginary world, of course, but I have not tended to do so. I write a great deal, but I do not generally find stories set in my main fictional world to be very successful. This is partially, perhaps, because my world is, at its core, realistic. If fantasy is defined by magic and science fiction by technology, or whatever, my world does not easily fall into either category. Venus and Mars, in my universe, are both deliberately Earthlike - not totally like Earth, of course, but very similar. There is no magic; there is little technology beyond real world levels. As such, any story I could possibly tell in the Viksor  wherever could equally well be set on our Earth with only very superficial changes.

There are writers who have created a world and then gone on to set stories in it - J.R.R. Tolkien, in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is the most famous example. In his case, the world came first; the stories second. But Tolkien's world was very obviously a fantasy world - one with magic and supernatural races. As such, it was very obviously different from the real world, and allowed Tolkien to tell stories which simply could not have been told in a more realistic setting. My world, as I have said, is not like that.To conclude, my reasons for worldbuilding are perhaps somewhat unconventional. But worldbuilding itself - and the various elements thereof - can be seen as simply unconventional ways of doing something that is considered relatively normal: the act of telling a story. I may not be creating a world for the purpose of telling a story, but one fact ought maybe not be overlooked: my world is a story in itself.
