I'll go with the ghetto philosopher who said "it is what it is".
For that matter, I saw a skater boarder fall down one time and he looked at me and said in 'dood-speak', "contemplate ..and move on".
I saw a modern dancer move across the stage one time saying, "this means this means this means this". It was kinda witty and profound, yet almost mocked the genre too. It was awesome.
Lastly, I'll quote the great Ken Kesey of the Merry Pranksters and the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, "you are either on the bus or off the bus". Seems to sum up almost every choice, doesn't it?
Peace.

Philosophy has had from its earliest days two different objects which were believed to be closely interrelated. On the one hand, it aimed at a theoretical understanding of the structure of the world; on the other hand, it tried to discover and inculcate the best possible way of life.
"None of us is dumb as all of us."
"If you do what you always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."
"The perfect instance (person, place, problem, thing, etc.) has acceptable flaws." - Myself
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887.
“out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” - Immanuel Kant

I'd say live and let live. Or maybe, Dr. Seuss summed up life best in one short little line from "Hunches in Bunches":
"Only you can make your mind up. You're the one and only one"
