- Aristotle

About this Quote

Aristotle's quote is a commentary on the idea of running away from problem. He recommends that running away from difficulty is a type of cowardice, and that suicide is not a worthy act, but rather an effort to escape an unpleasant scenario. He implies that those who choose to take their own lives are not brave, however rather are trying to avoid facing their problems. Aristotle's quote is a suggestion that running away from our issues is not the response, and that we ought to instead face our problems head-on. He motivates us to be brave and to face our troubles, rather than attempting to escape them. His words are a tip that courage is the key to overcoming our difficulties, which running away from them will only make them worse.
