Day 23

The fight or flight instinct has always fascinated me.

In our day and age, this response generally manifests itself to perceived mental danger or discomfort. The "I feel so awkward, how do I get out of this right now" sentiment.

For the most part, we don't have to worry about physical harm on a regular basis. Yet everyone is constantly examining their environment and avoiding situations that make them feel out of place.

What moments should we elect to fight ourselves and resist the urge to flee? Is personal progression a few mental punches away?

In nature, fleeing was often the clear logical choice. One would think that you would only fight when necessary.

However, it seems that for mental obstacles, wisdom would tell you that the opposite is true. Fleeing ideally only occurs when necessary.

There seems to be a great deal to learn about ourselves.
