Life just doesnt work like that. If it were that simple, at a click of a button many things could happen as a result of it. "Escape" actually implies something too deep and troubled so I'm just gonna leave that idea. No, there are some things that just wont change no matter what you do, its just how it is. As much as you may want, the world will always remain like this, where violence, war, racism, discrimination etc, will always occur. An individual cant possibly hope to create a big enough impact on the Earth's population to create such an effect that will delete and stop all that. There are things in life that would take a lot of effort to change and it just wont happen overnight, or even in a year. Those are the things human nature just has as it is, a possible change is not imminent.
Holidays are just a break, a so called temporary escape from whatever you have. Whether its school, work or anything else, its never permanent. Its a slight tranquil moment of time for people to relax for a bit, before continuing again into reality. School/work is always there, whether we want it or not. In such a modern day society, you'll never get anywhere without education, and one of the major things to help you forward as of now, is education.
