Fight or Flight?

How many amongst us take on a fight whenever confronted with one? How many amongst us would prefer to put it off until the other party clears his head? Men by nature they say is pugnacious unless of course you came from the genealogy of non-repugnant bloodlines. who would only enter a fight when the one at stake is of matter of life or death.

If we relate it to the real context of life, how many amongst us would put on a fight against our very own sets of problems? How many amongst us would choose to flight and move away from the sources of our problems and submit into a certain form of denial just to be able to pretend that we are living a normal life devoid of any problems? Most of us would tend to justify the reasons why we are acting the way we do when we run away from our own sets of problems and most of us have the tendencies to make other people believe that in our situations, it is the right thing to do. We tend to rationalize our acts and behaviors to be able to get other people's nods, sympathy and empathy to evade being wrongly criticized, humiliated and ostracized by our society.

Life is a continuous struggle as many wise men say. It is a constant struggle to stay alive, live a problem free existence and face the demands of being a human. But of the many people from different parts of the world, how many are able to face their problems as they come and take them as they plunge into them and never stops until they beat their problems to the pulp? How many would rather shy away from their problems and live a pretentious existence avoiding each and every problem that comes along their way?

Probably, the world is a mixture of both. Those who chose to fight it out head on with their problems and those who chose to flight and escape, others temporarily and others permanently. Solving our own personal sets of problems is a mixture of both I may say. Some fight it out with their problems as they come and would only cease when they solved it. While some prefers to defer facing their own problems until the time that they could assess that they are already capable of facing them. Life is indeed an interesting cycle with sets of interesting choices too. How about you in whatever problems that you have now, what would you chose? Fight or flight? :)
