Ever read a story whose ending was disappoining so you made up your own happily ever after? Ever live in an alternate reality? When and why?

When you live your own version of reality nothing every bothers you. Nothing touches you. Nothing reaches you.

I think that would be very handy when the world goes against you and is always criticizing you and attacking you and not buying what you are selling. You rest easy at night knowing you are always right. Must be nice.
