The Great Escape

We all know the natural human instinct of fight or flight.

When we come against adversity we have two basic choices.
1. Fight it
2. Run from it

Knowing what's best requires wisdom only gained through experience. And  even with experience we still get it wrong at times.
Some situations are best to run from.
Some are best to fight.

I think it's generally not good to run from problems though. This clearly doesn't mean searching for problems. But when you find yourself in the midst of one, running from it almost always is the wrong house.

Running from something before it becomes a problem sometimes is bad too. An example would be avoiding an "elephant in the room" until the situation exploded.

If something isn't your problem though and there is no need for you to get involved, running is good.
This doesn't mean not helping people, it means not getting involved in other people's affairs and problems that we have no business in.

Takeaways:
- don't run from your current problems
- don't get tangled up in other people's problems when you don't need to
- you will always be better off having gone through a problem than having escaped in the middle of it
