Two Words: Quite the Opposite

Tweet

Which word would best describe you, according to your experiences so far in your life? Do you find that it depends on the circumstances in which you find yourself, or are you always of the same mind when it comes to difficult situations? Here are the TWO WORDS: CAPITULATE: Which means to give up, OR to surrender. Or are you INDOMITABLE? This word means unconquerable. That is, you NEVER give up. I have a friend who has invited her daughter with three children to live with her, after the break-up of her daughter’s marriage. My friend visits me about once a week, and enjoys getting away from the noise and rowdiness of her grandchildren, she said. Last week she said something that I had never heard before. I asked her if she had any part in disciplining the children and she said. “No, I gave up. It’s not my circus and they are not my monkeys.” Have you ever heard that expression before?
