Thanks for the comment.
it's running away from the pain that make things even worse. Cartoon band-aids can really help that at a psychological level. You added a pleasant experience onto something that was purely unpleasant. One thing I know for sure is that Evil begets evil and Goodness begets more goodness. That's why negativity ends in self destruction and positivity prosper and running away makes the wounds rot.
