If things go to worse, would you run away from it all?
Would you escape from your troubles, provided it is guaranteed that you will achieve happiness and complete divorce from your problems?

The past, to me, is something to be treasured, so I wouldn't run away, there are valuable lessons to be learned in the past, even if it means giving up the rewards that you would have gotten if you had run away.

Would you? o_O
 
No, I wouldn't run away...well I mean, it depends on the situation. Say, if problem arises and someone's out to murder you, then yeah, I'd run like hell.

But if we're talking about emotional problems and such, then no. I wouldn't know how to face them though, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to try and fix whatever it is that needs fixing.

The past...well, some things are better off left behind there. So is that running away? Not really. More like facing your back at it and continuing on forward with your life.
 
Hum hum, I agree.

I actually intended this to be more of the emotional side, but I guess physically, it would be idea to run when you're in real trouble....obviously :P

Every problem is always there to be fixed and avoiding them just might worsen the situation.
 
The amount of times Ive wanted to run away from it all is very high. I cant handle stress and pressure very well, so I naturally break down and hope someone else will fix it for me. But then I realise that I need to sort things out myself. Ive been like that all my life.
 
it would have to be something pretty damn major to make me run away from it, leave my friends family etc. Im the kinda person who forgets things really quick, i believe the past is gone so why shoud i let it bother me? But i reckon leaving for a while can really help a person, give them time to clear their head and stuff.

'Tis really hard to cope with stress, so it's quite understandable that you take a break from it all.

Yes, I agree with this as well, obviously.
Just give a person a couple of days to himself/herself, and he/she will be just fine the next. So I guess, it's not running away, what you're talking about here, merely retreating into the safety of your own shell once in a while when things are bad. ;)
 
yeah i agree with that, everyone needs a break now and again and alone time is sometimes the best way
 
I am the kind of person who treasures the past even more than the present, since most of the best memories and my happiest moments happened a long time ago.

Actually I wouldn't run away from my problems, since they would most likely end up haunting me during the rest of my life. There are some things that, due to lack of courage, I left undone. For such things I am haunted, since they keep flashing through my mind with such vivid memories that I could have sworn they were recent ones.

It is funny how we, humans, have the tendency to forget happy moments while remembering the worst experiences. It might be because we learn from our mistakes, and sorrow has a much deeper effect on our souls than happiness.

Sometimes it's good to be alone, retreat to ourselves deep within our consciousness to clear things out. But beware, loneliness is like a double edge sword, it can both heal and harm you.

Also...

Quote to myself a long time ago: "One must learn not to live in the past for so long, or else we might end up forgetting the importance of our future and in the end, become something far worse than death itself, to live a distracted meaningless life while our souls are dead."
 
I'd run away from everything I've lived for in an instant. If I could legally migrate to a completely different side of the world, I'd happily do so right now. However, I'm not a coward.

I may not have experienced huge issues in my past, but there's been plenty of small ones. I once thought I was good at dismissing my problems, but learned the hard way that everything was amounting to something I couldn't cope with. I escaped such foolishness with an ounce of life left in me.

I'd sooner run away than face everything again. Facing their problems doesn't seem fit for everyone. [/emo]

I am quite the opposite, in that I remember my happier moments than my worse ones. Though the few worse ones I remember are usually the most horrible. =\

But I agree that sorrow takes much more to forget and have a deeper overall effect on our psyche. Likely it's the emotion and what you said, or something in between.
 
I usually need to get away for a short period of time, but in the end I face it after some thought.

I usually head off to one of my favorite places to play basketball, think stuff through, get anger out and compete, then head back into the real world to go one-on-one with the issues at hand.

Never "run away" from them.
 
Well physically if I'm about to be murdered or kidnapped, I'd use the opportunity to come up with ideas for a thriller novel... so I wont run away... I'll encourage it.. It would be better if I survived though...:P


But really, I've never really run away from my troubles.. I usually tey to fix it and use it as a learning experience...
 
Actually it all depends on the situation, whether it is a matter of life or death or a simple problem that seems impossible to resolve. There are some people who wish to run away and are judged as "cowards" while those who face their problems are said to be "brave"

Cowardice and bravery differs from person to person because of the many possibilities that may serve to set a difference between braveness vs foolishness, and cowardice.

Sure we can call those who prefer to run away from their problems as cowards, but that is not something that should be judged by us since we don't actually know how that person feels.

So I say that it all depends on your conscience and if you either wish to face your problems or run away. In the end, only they will suffer the consequences of their own actions.
 
Actually, I think that the easiest way to get out of pressure and stressful situations, or rather situations that we find no immediate situation for, is to go on a physical activity, like jogging.

That's a great way to keep things cool, and a great alternative from running away from your problems. Literally you are, but it gives you time to think about how to tackle it. :P
 
Not really, I hardly ever take the easy way out.

I tend to believe that no matter how bad a situation gets, it won’t last forever. Unless it’s a life and death situation as stated before, but no, I’ve never wanted to just run away.
 
I've thought about it a few times.
Then I decide not too because I think of all the things I am leaving behind.
Shelter, Warmth, Family, Friends, Electricity.
I just couldn't live that way.
 
I don't think that the past is easily treasured by those who have been dealt an unfair hand. Someone who was molested as a child, or who lost their parents in an accident...that's someone who will never (nor should they ever), treasure the events of their past. There are some things that you can learn from, e.g. the mistakes of the past...but there are some things that people don't deserve.

I personally have learned a lot from my own past, but there are some factors which...if I had the option...I would erase entirely from my memory.
