"So it goes"

Thought for the day....

“So it goes” does not denote apathy . This phrase, repeated over and over, comes to represent the randomness of death — how death can come to anyone at any time — and to convey a sense of fatalism during wartime. That is, the constant repetition of “So it goes” by Kurt Vonnegut makes one ask themselves about the meaning of death (or its lack of meaning) and the incalculable human costs of war.

"Shit happens, and it's awful, but it's also okay. We deal with it because we have to."

So it goes
