la vie = the life
la amour = l'amour = the love la guerre = the war I don't know why war is feminine. Feels like it should be le guerre. ~shrug~

Which requires courage; the opposite of cowardice.

Looking like a crummy day out today. But, it's the last day of work before a long weekend, then after the long weekend I have a 3 day work week, into another long weekend. The fact that I get a free day off per month for working the month prior is such a Nice little perk.
Not sure why I don't want to get out of bed with all that to look forward to. |

Yes, c'est la vie translates to "that's life" and when used in English it is meant to reflect the idea of fate or more accurately 'shit happens'. Outside of film you will not hear many French speakers say "c'est la vie' in that context though. When they want to express fate or 'shit happens' they are far more likely to use the term c'est la guerre. Even though "guerre" does literally translate to "war" that is not the actual meaning of the phrase when used it that manner. It is more like "that is my fight" or "that is the battle I face". It is more or less the term "shit happens" or "that is life" with different cultural history behind it. You can take the whole thing one step further in that when people say "shit happens" they don't usually mean they shit even though that is the literal meaning of the term.

I think it's usually more of an ego thing than cowardice. It's not cowardice to be cautious, or to want to protect your investment, or be wary of something someone is trying to sell you on. At least that's the way I treat it.
