The Marathon Runners

Running is in and so are the runners..

But what are we running away from?

Running away from those lurking fears, which may not even exist in reality?

Running away from situations, which weaken us, worsen us and bring out the worst in us.

Running away from people, who are capable of hurting us.

Running away in relationships, trying to find solace in some others.

Running away from family, to meet those needs, which give temporary happiness.

Running away from ourselves, in remorse and doing things, which further our guilt.

Running, Running, Running......... Reaching nowhere........

Aren't we Marathon runners, in our own ways?
