Running

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Namely about how people deal with situations.

One thing that I keep coming back to is the concept of running. Some people call it escaping. I never understood this. Some people seem to be in a constant state of running, they seem to be constantly needing to escape whatever reality they're dealing with. Now don't get me wrong, there are some people who are genuinely running away from bad situations, but they're running away to a different end. I'm more thinking about people who are "running to standstill," that is, theyre running away from facing basic reality that doesnt need to be changed. These people just seem incapable of dealing with this reality, and instead choose to run as long as possible until they reach a point where they have to face the reality that is there existance. I just dont understand this
