Meaning: Always remain cheerful in the face of problems

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

My source says that this phrase, sometimes shortened to just "chin up," was made

in the USA and as late as 1990!

 

Life is hard. Many things are out of our control. Other problems are often more 

imagined than real and fanned by interests that stand to gain from our fear

(e.g., disease mongering). A totally rational person may not exist, but we can

always try to practice what this idiom commands. Make some jokes, have a laugh,

move around and sweat a bit, have a good sleep, and come back to face the 

challenge.

Similar to the British expression : keep a stiff upper lip.

Isn’t aloofness or eccentricity in the eye of the beholder?

That’s what I thought. Isolated, oblivious, trying to hold

Onto what they were used to.
