Committed to Non-committal

I’ve noticed that the new fad in phraseology is to say about the most miniscule of things that one is “over it.” I find this to be perplexing since that phrase is usually used only after a protracted and emotionally exhausting relationship between two people has come to a definitive end. So now we have people being “over” their half eaten sandwich and so on and so forth. What does this say about the society when such a previously intense and firm statement can be used about the most inane of endeavors?
I don’t know. But it is funny. I think people in this politically charged and stressful time are just advertising their apathy in such a way that emulates a self-conscious child craving attention. To say I’m not scared usually shows that fear is a factor. To say “I’m over that . . .” Is to say that at some point you were not that it meant something to you. A sandwich is a good meal, the sustenance that I can get from it is about as much as it means to me it is not comparable to the love of another person or my stakes in some college team taking it all the way at the final four. I don’t mean to think that the priorities of people using this phrase are out of whack (it is just a fad and I’m sure I’ll jump on the bandwagon soon enough) but the use of this phrase ad nauseum shows a clear fear on the part of people to be sincere about what they do value.
The way I see it the two alternatives are that people become addicted to every element of their lives such that they are no longer over (definite) things but rather much like a person in some annoymous program are constatly recovering (ambiguous) from things. OR (and I prefer this one) people move on to an even more absolute phrase declaring: “that sandwich is dead to me” and so on and so forth.
