Running away from problems or troubles will make you fall into another problem or trouble. ~Raghav Singh versus Sometimes you just gotta hold your head, smile, and walk away. ~Unknown
Is there a difference between running away from something and walking away from something? For instance, facing a life-altering decision and instead of making it, run away.... Or facing the same decision, walk away. With this concept in mind, is one or the other better?
For whatever reason, I've always viewed running away as a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Not facing a problem because it's unbearable and therefore running, fast and far. No thought of returning; no indication of the future ahead.
Walking away removes the permanence, instead giving a problem necessary distance but the opportunity for a tomorrow. A length of time in which one thinks and redirects; enough that it gives the solver a moment or day or week of contemplative perspective.
However, my thoughts are not conclusive and now I wonder what others think. What do you think?
