I'm not sure about other
people, but when I was young if we got hurt my mother would tell us to "Oh,
just walk it off." This one phrase became almost like a mantra to live by.
Hit your head, walk it off. Stubbed your toe, walk it off. Someone makes you
mad, walk it off. Roll your ankle over first base and tear the ligament in your
ankle, walk it off. Wait what? No Mom really I literally can't walk it off.
Throughout my life I
have certainly found that "just walk
it off" wouldn't work in the literal for, but in a philosophical manner it can still be useful.
