It is typical human behaviour to run away from that which is dangerous or threatening, a mechanism for self-preservation, one of the two main drives of nearly every living thing in existence (the other being, of course, procreation). Commonly known as one-half of the "Fight or Flight Repsonse", the great majority of people will choose "flight"-- will choose to escape a troublesome or dangerous situation, rather than confront the source of that situation.
In general, this is the wiser choice.
