Unshackled from unreality

It is interesting that the stars of two very unrealistic but popular TV shows, "Fantasy Island" and "The Prisoner", have just died. It is almost as if we are now being freed from being trapped by these unrealities. Maybe we will no longer hope to live on a "fantasy island" and no longer feel that we are "the prisoner" in a prison from which there is no hope of escape. Maybe now we can get on with real life and feel that we actually do have a sense of control of our own destinies.
