February 24, 2009Poison Phrase ~ Go with the flow
I recently attended a workshop that did not come close to being on schedule. I had gone out of my way to arrive on time, and quickly learned my diligence was wasted effort. When I mentioned how difficult the lack of timeliness made it to plan, I was told to…
- Just go with the flow.
Whose flow? Lunch at noon one day and 3:15 the next might have fit the facilitator’s flow, but it sure didn’t fit mine. It might have fit the facilitator’s flow to have a leisurely casual private conversation with someone while everyone else waited for the class to start again, but it didn’t fit the flow for the rest of us. Sometimes “go with the flow” is an excuse for a lack of consideration.

When I am meditating, “go with the flow” works well for me. when I am waiting on somebody who cannot be timely, it annoys me.
“Go with the flow” in the above-described situation is absolutely a posion phrase. If somebody said that to me in the same intention I would wonder how often the person invalidates others. I’d even be so bold as to ask how often.
