Part 2/4:
The Fallacy of Running Away
Attempting to escape pain is a common instinct, but this tactic proves ineffective. The metaphor of pain "running faster" illustrates its persistent and unavoidable pursuit. The more we attempt to dodge discomfort, the more elusive and persistent it becomes, underscoring the importance of acceptance rather than avoidance.

The most effective approach, as highlighted, is to push through suffering. This resilience requires inner strength—both mental and physical. The question then becomes: do we possess the necessary capabilities to endure and overcome hardship? If not, the path forward lies in developing these very abilities.
