Educational Q&A
When one is surrounded by harmful forces, panic-driven escape alone may not bring safety; liberation requires a wiser course—seeking protection, right counsel, and steadiness rather than mere flight.
Vidura describes a person being pursued: he cannot run far from the danger, and the pursuers do not release him—highlighting an inescapable, tightening threat.
