In the words of pat benetar

"I believe there comes a time
when everything just falls in line
we live and learn from our mistakes
the deepest cuts all heal by fate"

I'm a complete atheist but I try and live by:

F*** it!

No reason. I've just hit 40 and decided that life's too short. Who cares with other people think? If you're not hurting anyone, just do whatever makes you happy.

Ditto, sometimes change the 'it' to 'him/her/them'

"Meh". So it's an exclamation of indifference? I'll have to start using that more.

Does that mean I'm a chav now?

I've got a few, some of which may seem contradictory but are not in practice.

1. No fate but what we make (Yes I did get it from the Hollywood blockbuster).

2. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

3. Never trust anyone with more than 3 names.

4. Be nice to each other (another film one but modified).

Meh also means "I'm completely wrong but I'm not going to admit it".
