Don't Go There

I have noticed over the years, the way some people have used the statement, "You are too sensitive!", when something is
mentioned to them, they don't want to deal with, i.e. the stereotyping of the messenger, who may be telling the truth, in order for the one hearing it, to avoid admitting it, to him or herself. When a person sees something, others are capable of seeing, but are too preoccupied with their "busy-ness" to see, that, of course, does not make that person, "too sensitive". It
may simply mean, that the person in question, has simply spent time reflecting on what he or she is talking about, and
actually has something to offer. Perhaps it would be more truthful, in dealing with something, you don't want to deal with,
to say, "Sorry, I don't want to deal with this right now", exercising your right "not to be bothered". There are, of course, other
ways than "blaming the messenger", that some people use, so as not to deal with what is before them. I have heard the
expression, "Don't go there!", many times. Sometimes, it may be wise to say that, if it nips a war between two people, in the bud. Sometimes, it may be a declaration of wanting to have your privacy, about the matter that someone has started to bring
before you. This too has merit, I knew a woman, once, however, who used that phrase like a mantra. She seemed to be
following the "don't go there!", philosophy of life. She, of course, had her reasons for this approach, but because of this, she always seemed to be avoiding, anything deeper about life, or that might mean, she might have to make changes. There are many ways in which human beings attempt to avoid change, and, therefore, the growth that can sometimes come with that.
I have mentioned, what seem to me, to be two of them. There are others...but right now...I hear my "inner councellor' saying,
"Don't go there!"..............................Quester.
