Avoiding

An Agent avoids an Undesirable_situation under certain Circumstances. That situation may be an activity (e.g. going to school), or an entity (perhaps) metonymic for such an activity or situation (e.g. the curb). The situation may be undesirable from the Agent's point of view (e.g. evade), to someone else (e.g. forbear), or from the point of view of an external morality (e.g. abstain).
