And this leaves open the door for hope. Instead of the tragedy of trying to escape fate and failing, the story can be about submitting to fate and being saved. Not always. Sometimes the story is that you meet your fate, but you died doing the right thing. But sometimes, refusing to take the selfish action, refusing to run means that something beyond the expectations of human reality can intervene and save you. Either way, you end the story as a hero, instead of as a victim or a villain.
