How bad does shit smell?

Hello everyone,
Long time since I've made a post like this, but something has recently caught my attention that started to make me think. And thinking isn't always good when you have a mind like mine (NEVER stops).

We always say, "shit happens." when anything bad happens to us or a bad situation...basically anything bad, right? Just to make the situation better, or just simply to make yourself feel better. We put up with it (whatever it may be) and settle it or move on, mostly move on. Yet, the "shit" is still there. Have you ever noticed that whenever something like this happens, the situation or moment is never really handled but more ignored/looked over, just so you can move on? I've noticed this 9 out of 10 times I've seen people more-so look over the situation rather than handle it and have it be SOLVED. Mostly in the workplace, but I've seen this in daily lives as well. I've recently found myself in this particular situation.
(To give some perspective to those whom maybe confused as to what I'm talking about, here's an example)
Let's say (for instance), you're a supervisor of your department (be creative). You realize you're short on staff, you go looking around asking your workers what do they know of the people who were all supposed to be there. They don't have an answer for you (as you are the one supposed to know as the supervisor) now people are looking to you for answers why you don't have enough people working. So, you go to your boss for some help. "I'm short of workers today, do you know any one who can come in today on short notice?" And your boss replies with, "Oh yea, 3 people called in sick today, I meant to tell you but forgot. You have one person coming it, but no one else answered their phone." Obviously, this is a bad situation because people were mad at you for not making sure you had the right amount of people, yet it ended up being your boss's fault for being an idiot. You confront your boss, saying its very important and a big deal to make sure you're aware of when issues like that happens. Your boss does the typical nod and "yea yea" while shooing you away, or does the "I'm YOUR boss so let me talk down to you for about 10 minutes just so you know how much bigger I am than you." talk (we all just "love" those huh?). However, the initial situation itself is never really approached, handled, or solved in a manner to where there's a system to follow for the next time it happens. Right?

Same thing in family situations, relationships, friendships. The list goes on and on...
Really this does ultimately go down to that as humans, we like conflict. If we were to really solve everything around us, there would be no conflict. No conflict means no drama, no gossip, no arguing, no yelling, no rushing, no frustration, no stress. Normally one would think all that would be a GREAT things to have without. Ironically though, we as humans can't live without that. Our lives would become TOO routine, and TOO boring without conflict.
To keep our interest in our daily lives, we allow conflicts to arise. We don't call our boss's right away when we feel a sickness coming on (or honestly don't feel like going into work), we don't tell our boyfriends/girlfirends our ex just called us (right away), we DO tell our brother he should get a DNA test on his wife's new baby, we DO let an angry customer get to us, we DO tell our best friend her profile picture makes her look like a skank. We enjoy the rise we get from having arguments, fights, yelling, stress, rushing, and gossip. It gives us a small yet satisfying adrenaline rush and peek to our day.

With relationships, it tends to be different. Either its excuses to end relationships, self esteem issues, fears, or just plain stubbornness. It all depends on the particular situation and how honest the person wants to be about why they're really making mountains out of mole hills.

So whenever you find yourself in these particular situations/issues...just ask yourself, shit does happen, but how bad is it? Is it really worth it?

Truthfully, nothing's worth risking your job, family, or relationship...its all a matter of how bad you want it.

For now I leave you with this
