We deal with situations in our own unique way. Some may fly off the handle, while others ‘stew’ over the circumstance(s) and delay response; or maybe say nothing at all. The latter is viewed as marinating things over in your mind, and not being quick to react. This is because putting all the pieces together and understanding the entire position gives one pause, and the ability to handle things reasonably. The former–no explanation needed!
