Explain why a person would suspend disbelief for a time. Some may say that suspending disbelief for a time can also lead to issues with differentiating fantasy from reality. Explain the difference between suspension of reality and having problems separating out fantasy from reality.
A man suspends disbelief when he is too much seasoned with reality. He experiences a lot of troubles in life. He is always in struggle for existence. He is always haunted by the elemental needs. He has no time to imagine. Then the person may suspend the disbelief, a product of imagination.
Realism is the chief object of life and we have to face reality in every moment. We have to earn our livelihood and we have to face the sad experiences of life. We have lots of problems in our daily routine life. We have to do a lots of tasks and we have no option to avoid the tasks.
But man is imaginative animal by nature. With the help of imagination he becomes optimistic. It helps him to bear the burden and troubles of life. He love to imagine the prosperous future and he likes to live in the world of fantasy. It separates him from the hard reality and offers temporary relaxation. Fantasy offers us relaxation from miseries. naturally, when we fail to have fantasy, we also fail to be optimistic. In such case life becomes unbearable.
