Default The Show Must Go On

The show must go on. This is an imperative. Whenever the word "must" is used correctly it means there is no choice in the matter. It sounds like something a tyrant would use but in everyday life it is a reality with rules and regulation and laws. The enforcing authority is able to penalize those who do not obey.

My father was very good at enforcing his household rules and was not afraid to penalize me when I was not obedient.

The show must go on

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The show must go on" is a phrase in show business, meaning that regardless of what happens, whatever show has been planned still has to be staged for the waiting patrons.

There is no evidence to suggest that it is the abbreviation of a longer phrase. The saying and principle are traditional in the theater, but they both originated in the 19th century with circuses. If an animal got loose or a performer was injured, the ringmaster and the band tried to keep things going so that the crowd would not panic[1] because "it is a point of honour not to let the other players down by deserting them when no understudy is available."[2]

Later on, the phrase was more broadly applied to the hotel business[3] and show business in general.[4] Eventually, the phrase was used to convey the idea that an event or activity must continue even if there are problems or difficulties, with or without regard to actual show business.[5]

I have one life to live. I must never give up and quit, till the day I die and I am cremated,

This attitude requires courage to see life through the good times and the bad times. Fortunately I haven't had any bad times in many years.

Since I don't have any God that affects my life, I can't give thanks. It must be pure fortune.
