Act
To jump from a situation to another, to escape, is to act instead of feeling and thinking.
That makes me think of a frightened animal trying to escape from it's predador desperately runing... to the abyss of desperation and inevitability... evolution has thought human beings that it is better to stop, hide and think of criative and different solutions to problems! :)
There was this interesting article a couple of weeks ago on the New York Times about the role of depression in evolution. It seems there is an upside to it! "Depression's upside" by Jonah Lehrer http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/magazine Have a look.
