Isn’t that a comforting phrase? We often use it when we are in the midst of troubling times or perhaps to explain some news that wasn’t quite what we were hoping for. I have heard many students this week use the phrase, it seems to put disappointing exam results in a context that is somehow part of some bigger picture ...
It’s not just students who use this phrase to excuse ‘today’ as if whatever has just happened is an important part of some bigger plan. It’s used if we want to try and comfort someone trying to cope with a problem or to excuse a position we wish we hadn’t got ourselves into.
