That seems like a pretty unhealthy perspective. It reads as though the speaker is so unhappy in some way that they cannot stand to simply sit with themself and hear their own thoughts. As though they have to run away from thoughts that trouble them and can never have the peace that comes from confronting them.

And yes, I know who Kierkegaard is and I am in fact a bit of a fan. The above is just what I thought while reading this. I imagine it comes from perspective based in mindfulness, wherein you learn to let your thoughts come, acknowledge them, and let them go without suffering.

I do agree with the point he was aiming to make, though.
