Dying: The Ultimate Goal in Life

By son_of_disaster - Posted on December 5th, 2007

Tagged: Society • death • determinism • fatalism • kurt vonnegut

Ever read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5, then you're probably familiar with, "so it goes." It is something the Tralfamadorians say when someone dies. They have a fatalistic, almost determinist outlook on life. That there is no freewill, that we are bound by the constraints of time and history, and it is always the same.
