Found this on another board:

"If you run away from certain efforts and activities that life imposes on you, you will never manage to develop yourself. Some people leave their family or work because they find life too hard. Others run away from their responsibilities. The fact is that running away is not recommended. Destiny puts you in certain conditions for a reason. You have to reinforce yourself and face the difficulties and obstacles of your daily life. Consider these models: sportsmen who train themselves to overcome fatigue, cold, and heat, and navigators who confront the ocean, braving bad weather and great dangers. You must do the same psychologically: train yourself to resist, to hold on. Of course, if a time comes when you cannot bear the situation anymore, run away. But do come back as soon as you can to face things... until you become really steadfast and strong."
