Just roll with it

This seems to be the phrase that most often describes a somewhat difficult situation or experience. I heard this phrase several times over the course of this weekend, so much that, I now am somewhat irritated by the casualty of the comment. Why, when something bothers someone, should they just "roll with it?" Seems like another excuse to file your problems away, to later rediscover them in privacy with their therapist. If you ask me, I think that this world is in a worst place because they "hid" the things that bother them. We hear all the time about the troubles of the world, who had aggression and who acted out because of it. Lives are being lost and families are being broken because these "rolling moments" have become too bottled up and pressure cooked in a sense to the point of a boiling over, and then the innocent people, or those who originally caused the difficult situation, are the victims of the boil over.

So why, do people keep insisting to others that they should "roll with it". Nay Nay I say, people should rather speak out their feelings, and express what might have been the problem and work it through in that moment. Yes it will be hard, due to the emotions of the state of those that were hurt, and yes to those who simply cannot deal with it. But considering the resultant, it would be better to face it and move on.

Something similar to the initial behavior that men exhibit, fight and get it over with and then move on. Women on the other hand we don't mimic the same tendencies, we bury it deep within our psyche and never, repeat NEVER, let it go. So much for the expression "just roll with it". We have so much to learn and so much progress to make to correct our progress down this slippery slope.

More to come...
