Running away.
When it comes to issues of mortality, run.
Sniper aiming for your head, run.
Mailman seeking your signature, run.
Radio doesn't work, run.
You stutter on-stage, run.
Running is a time-honored method of dealing with problems. Casually started with first putting yourself at quite the distance from said adversary, usually at a very high pace of speed. This action usually involves using a lot of energy, and is always draining for the user of the technique.
Running away from any problem gives the person much needed relief. What we fail to mention is that this relief is usually temporary in nature as it very much depends on what you were running away from in the first place, the runner's environment, and the condition of the runner.
For example, while running away from a 2-legged platypus is virtually easy and may provide you with good results, running away from the police may or may not help.
And running away from the truth - it never works.
Sometimes, it is the act of running itself that hurts. You, and the people around you. So what you should do is try, try, try to bring things back to a slower pace. Look at it from a different angle, and hope for the best.
The biggest problem with running is that it solves nothing.
