It’s a very vague term, but not bollocks if we take it to mean (as Wikipedia does) 'the characteristics and key events of human life, including birth, learning, emotion, aspiration, morality, conflict, and death. This is a very broad topic that has been and continues to be pondered and analyzed from many perspectives, including those of anthropology, art, biology, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religion.’ The trouble is that it’s so broad and abstract a term that it verges on the meaningless when used, as it often is, in making sweeping generalisations.
