"There are almost no characters in this story, and almost no dramatic confrontations, because most of the people in it are so sick, and so much the listless playthings of enormous forces. One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters"
Vonnegut.

Said pejoratively.
Meant to incur negative connotations.
(of a children's crusade no child can win.
(or should ever wish to fight.)

"so it goes."

We all lose with guilt-stricken memories and clock-stretching times.
We all lose with an ego-created sense of fear.

Is how "it goes" how it must continue to go?
