Hello, dear Steemians!
There is something unique, beautiful and mesmerizing about the idea of a tragic life and stories that speak of heroes that, despite their best efforts, fail in their endeavors and give way to evil in the world.
Our longing love for tragic stories is a sign of our most intimate ideas about the world and the life that we are currently living in the human society.
Let us take a closer look at our love for tragedy.
I could go on and on for hours about how certain outlooks and motivational ideas can help you achieve success in life.
I could talk about honesty, resiliency, courage, will, determination, planning, and moral high ground. About how each and every one of these concepts come together to push you towards your dreams.
But even then, at your most motivated mental state, you would fail to grasp the bigger picture and succumb to the idea of a tragic life.
There is a reason behind such behavior and pattern of thought.
The reason is the abundance of terrible things that we have had to witness ever since we were just a child.
You see, it is much easier to witness and imagine failure than success. Success and happiness are indeed rare to come by.
That is why many of us would sooner cling unto the idea of failure as destiny rather than success as courage.
People love the idea of a tragic hero, because deep down, they know that the world is basically a bowl of chaos and the random turn of events (or what they would prefer to call ‘luck’) will eventually catch up on them.
Failure is inevitable. Plans will fail. Hearts will be broken.
After all, we are constantly exposed to this chaotic and unpredictable whirlwind of events.
The course of our life is incessantly influenced by these random and unexpected events that prompt us to take action despite our deep and unsatiated desires.
And so, we love tragic stories because they remind us that life can be quite chaotic.
That despite our best efforts and intentions, we could still fail and lose things that are precious to us.
It doesn’t matter if you are out for yourself or you are the hero that sacrifices everything for everyone, at the end of the day, you are prone to the unrelenting wave of incidental occurrences that threaten you and your well-being.
People take comfort in indulging tragedy because they understand their vulnerability against life.
And that I think is actually a wonderful idea! The fact that we love tragedy is not an indication of our unwillingness to put an effort into our goals and dreams.
Tragic heroes are beautifully tragic because they actually do something.
They never surrender, despite knowing that they might fail. Despite failing, they never regret their decision to actually do something and take steps to change things.
We should embrace and accept the idea of a tragic life, and at the same time, aspire to achieve great things with our courage and determination.
A BIG HUG!
