Remember the Run-Away Bride? Do you ever feel like that sometimes? Many people cannot believe that she ran away like that, yet deep inside you understand why dont you? In fact the fight or flight response is a human mechanism, which is an innate characteristic of mankind. It runs deep in the primitive part of the Homo Sapien Brain. Some believe that this mechanism is why the human species rose above other species and took the dominant role as top of the food chain for land surface mammals. Indeed, if you feel like you just really want to run away sometimes you are not alone and that thought runs deep in all people, regardless of nationality, culture, race, age or region of the world one lives. If you think back in some of the problems that plagued out early ancestors you can see that those who ran away, lived to fight another day. And another way to say this is to observe that those who avoided being killed by an invading army, Volcano, Typhoon, Hurricane, Tsunami, Locust Plague or wild animals hunting in packs in a region moved to safer ground and lived longer lives and had more offspring, thus this is why you are here today. So the chances of you considering the flight response when frustrated, angered or threatened are a factor of that genetic truth and evolutionary cycle. Therefore if you really feel like you would just really want to run away, that is perfectly natural and to over come that response to such stimuli you can only do that via brainpower. Think on this. |
