Tragedy is a great storytelling form. It worked extremely well for Shakespeare. It worked extremely well for Jim Cameron with 'Titanic.'
Tragedy is a literary concept.
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
