Escapists do.

yes, for sure, a spiritual person can operate quite well in the world. I wanna point out though, that some great teachers found there calling after
undergoing terrible times. In fact, quite often, the most severe occurences in a persons life, are exactly the things that propel them to greater
things.
My own life is an example. For years i had a terrible self-destructive lifestyle, in & out of jail, and using drugs. Culminating in cocaine use. It
was this dark journey however, that in my last days of wanting to live, i looked for some healing. by chance, or providence, i found Reiki, and it
saved my life. From then, in a very modest way, i've repayed that.
If i had not of had the terrbile times i did, i would never have encountered Reiki, and never have expereinced God, on a quantifiable expereintial
level. And this opportunity would'nt have been passed in turn to others.
So yeah, spiritual folks can operate easily in the world. Though, really, the hard times a person expereinces, can ultimately be happening for some
greater magical good.
It is easy to be spiritual if live is good, and always so. Sometimes, just sometimes, folks on the spiritual path need the value of more experienced
folks, to advise, and perhaps most importantly, help them stay grounded, and keep things in perspective.
Within spirituality, it's all about gentle guidance, and positive encouragment.. We can't judge some on the basis others are. Within spirituality,
there is no place for judgement anyhow. :-)
Take care
