running

kids can't stop running, and that's a fact,
go to a supermarket on friday night and you'll see tons of kids running around, some stopping, shouting and then gasping for breath and then running again, but mostly running, not from anything or to get anywhere, but simply just running, probably it's the freedom of youthful exuberance or simply the blissful ignorance of anything but candies and play

adults run too, as a matter of fact
but adults run with a purpose, sometimes to escape problems, other times to get to a better place, but mostly, adults are always running - towards that better paying job, better grade, away from past lovers, old enemies, bad debts, adults run all the time, from their friends, family - basically, adults run away from trouble,

of course, lots of times, we run only as as a temporary respite, we know that eventually we would have to square up our shoulders and face them one by one, look at each in the eye and scare those ghosts away, but many times, the easier solution of escape presents itself as a more viable option,  ¶ 6:04 pm
