The Singleton seeks relief in religion, in alcohol, in fruitless activities that are harmful to him or her and cannot escape the grim realities of this world. People in systems can, and that is what causes members of systems to be regarded as coping mechanisms and arrested development.

I find this...wrong. We live in this world, and we cannot escape it. We could ignore things that are going on outside, yes, and leave others to take care of it. But all of us here would agree that would be bad. We help each other take care of things outside. We do not abandon someone at front to deal with it while the rest of us go and stick our heads in the sand. No one in here escapes from reality. We all share the burden.
