    A motto of mine is “The universe doesn’t care, so we have to”.

    Love seeing other versions of the same idea held by others.

      That is similar to one of mine. “The Universe, and Life are fair. They are completely impassionate about their fairness.”

      I throw that at any one that dares utter the phrase “life isn’t fair,” at anyone else in my earshot. Through 44 years of life it seems that those that like the phrase “Life isn’t fair,” are the very ones working as hard as they can to ensure it is unfair.

        My retort for “life isn’t fair” is a lot shorter.

        It is: “I know, doesn’t mean you can’t be”.

        So often it’s used to excuse you getting screwed by someone. The universe may not be fair, but more often than not, when facing unfair bullshit, there’s a person/people you can actually slap behind it.
