Poles often use this phrase to show 'hart ducha' (strength of spirit). It's a way of saying that we are tougher than our problems. There is a shared cultural value of stoicism in the face of bureaucracy or minor failures, where this phrase is a common social lubricant. In startups in Warsaw or Kraków, this phrase is used to encourage 'failing fast' and moving on to the next iteration. Parents use this to teach children emotional regulation, though modern parenting styles are moving toward more empathetic alternatives.
