English term or phrase: runs away
Salzberg (1997) suggests that sometimes our fear runs away with us and we convince ourselves that we are being compassionate when we do not act in some situations.

这句中的runs away with us, 真的是在说“有时我们的恐惧会跟着我们一起逃避”吗?

Explanation:
这个人可能了解对的方法与他内心是慈悲也智慧狠不错但是他自信不够还是他不好意思说勇敢的回答所以他想象恐惧糟糕的结果。他的想象力拿事理和逃难。他想入非非

Example sentence(s):
  • I tried to confront my best friend because of his alcoholism but my resolve ran away (fled) when I saw him and told him what he wanted to hear.
  • I am scared to swim in the ocean because of sharks. Though shark attacks are rare, all reason runs away with my fears and I cannot overcome it.
