Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise, and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Having failures in life is important to understand where, exactly, you stand.
There is so much inherent drama in the matter of change. Disappointment in yourself and others, coping with the fact that life is essentially shipwreck, becoming a person you yourself could not imagine yourself to be, for good and for bad, and then ultimately there is the basic matter of loss.
Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.
Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it.
No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.
The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.
