Fight or Flight? What type of question is that. Without looking deep into the situation you might say that the cowardly fly away and that the fearless stay to fight their enemies. But is it really so wrong to want to fly? To abandon the issue before a war breaks out. By fighting are you causing more trouble than you are fixing? It might be better to let it simmer for a while, and not bubble over and flood your whole world. To fly might actually be the more noble thing to do. To entrust that the issue will soon dissolve. Or is this the worst option all together. In the end will you still feel rage and want to strike out? Maybe having that battle will help you to mend your wounds and come back ten times stronger than before. To fight. To take off in flight. It is so hard to choose when the end is not inevitable. I'm not seeing that clearly now, but I'm pretty sure that even thought I'm not the kind to get scrapes and scars in war, I might fight this one out. Fighting to the finish and feeling the thrill of winning. So if you fly you don't get an answer, do you? But if you fight you will get an answer. And although that answer might be the most painful thing for you to hear, it will give you something to hold onto. And have I now just confused myself even more? Because my bones are not hollow and I do not have wings, but my armor is broken and my sword is bent so what if I cannot do either? Fight or Flight? Such a stupid question that will only get us more tangled in our messed-up thoughts. Fight or Flight? Fuck.
