circumstances conspire to bring out the best and the worst in people. how we respond to it makes all the difference. our behavioral manifestations of fight-or-flight response indicate how we cope to maintain homeostasis or psychological equilibrium.

either way, human’s responses to pain and stress are complex as both types have polarity. so whether we are fighting or fleeing, or both at the same time, the gist is we are responding and coping to stay sane.
