Tom
>>such is life<<
A statement variously attributed, most famously in the antipodes to the bandit hero Ned Kelly who, after a beating from his jailers and when dragged to the gallows, was asked to comment on his lot.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
