What about escapism or momentarily taking your eyes off of the sorrows in the life? I escape into movies. I also marvel at the Met Gala dresses. I don't look at them as the rich flaunting their riches. I like to see beauty whether it's in nature, a catwalk, or an art show.

There are injustices everywhere, including near me. However, I can't focus on them 24 hours a day. I'm not that strong.

So forgive me for admiring the pretty dresses at the gala while I can still afford to watch TV and have internet access. I'm not rich but I wish.
