Thinking out loud

Tragedy is an opportunity to persevere over what appears to be. It's an opportunity to feel and ultimately find more compassion and understanding in events that upon initial scrutiny oozes pain. Tragedy would like you to throw in the towel. To collapse further into a quicksand of pain. This quagmire is even more dangerous than the initial outside element immediately linked to the pain. Because now, you're adding your reaction of grief into the mix--you've become the soprano soloist in the Opera of Grief.
