Avoidance is a good short term strategy to escape conflict and the best long term strategy to ensure continued suffering.
Avoiding situations is a bit like behaving like an ostrich. Every time they shove their head into the sand when there is a stressful situation thinking that the problem has gone away.
But when they pull their head out of the mud, the problem is still there and perhaps bigger.
Similarly in our lives, the best way to deal with problems is to be armed with better coping strategies and tackle the problem head on.
Don’t avoid. Fight. Soldier on.
