Many rationale can be proffered for delaying an engagement  in issue confrontation. Among them are complacency and apathy. With the possible resultant difficulty, postponing engagement of a given matter is often not worth the costs.

The risks of a dilatory response include issue enlargement, harm to others, and personal harm. Many other factors and elaborations could be expounded upon including further discussion of the cost versus risk analysis.
