Life is full lies, mistake and problems. This things trigger us to depress, get stress and sadness. Running away to our problems are sometimes our first choice. Yet reality chase after us. We can't escape truth. Fighting and facing are better than running away.

We can't really run away from out problems. It will chase us everywhere and running away won't solve the problems we just make it worse not to face early and accept the truth. Running away from problems is not only futile, it leads to a false sense of security. The reality is, problems follow us until it is resolved. It isn't literally changing our physical location, More often, it is escaping mentally.

This post reminds me of the song tainted love. Yes, life is full of lies, mistakes, problems and selfishness, but I have to take an opposite stand. I believe we are capable of "running away" from those existing problems. I believe we can start over, start fresh, a new start. Sometimes we have to cut ties completely to our past to get away from them. The witness protection comes to mind where people are forced to do this everyday. Can we escape our memories, NO. We can however create new memories, find new friends that appreciate instead of pointing fingers.

You have a point! That's what someone who is around me is doing. We had problems, she ran away from problems and found solace in someone else!! Well, it depends on individuals. If we feel the problems should be faced and solved, we don't run away and when it's otherwise, we run away!

I agree it is always better to fight until we run out of breath instead of running away . Its almost impossible for us to ever run away from our problems , they will continue to haunt us until we face them .

Facing our own fears is always the best. Running from problem won't help us solve it, not even ignoring will help us in any ways. Therefore, face the problem and find solution-the earliest possible time.

I agree life is full of everything you mentioned at times many of us try to run away from those problems but we cannot ,they chase us as you said and sometimes we get crushed under them for sure. But still there is always a hope which helps us to regain the strength and move further.

Exactly. We can never run when we know we can find peace if we face our problems. These are only challenges that makes one strong and we learn from all these. So better yet face it than keep on running and let your conscience eat you.

I think I am guilty of that one time in my life. I was having big issues in my marriage and what I did was I went away for 5 months hoping that my problems would be solved. But of course, it didn't get solve while I was away. I had my problem fixed when I faced ALL of them when I came back. I swallowed my pride and just took all the blow , coz somehow, I know I was also at fault.

YEs since running in problems cannot help you solve it, it will remain as problems, no matter how you try to escape from it.And problems are not intended for us to be coward, it helps us to be strong and be confident with ourselves.There are problems that we cannot solve, there is always a way for it. So we must try to face it.

Hi friend, you are right, life is really a great challenge, we must face it with our confidence. Escaping from our problems is not a good thing, we can face our issues and win over it with our effort, so face your challenges and don't try to escape from it.
