Tragedy is defined as, "a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences” (What is Tragedy, Wikipedia) Tragedies, big and small, have an effect on our lives. Experiencing a tragedy, such as the loss of a loved one, is a very difficult thing to handle. No one wants to deal with tragedies, but, believe it or not, the adversity in tragedies make us stronger human beings. Think about it this way. Person A lives a perfect life, everything seems to go their way, where they never experience a downfall, and Person B experiences life as it actually is, a struggle in some areas, glory in others. Suddenly a major tragedy hits, such as moving away from everything you've ever known, packing your bags and leaving. Person B is much more apt to work through the tragic event, whereas Person A experiences a setback.
Are we capable of learning from tragedies? Some say that history repeats itself, and I believe that is true. I also believe that personal tragedies are able to be overcome, those that affect you on a personal level. Tragedies on a worldwide level may take longer to overcome, disagreements are inevitable, but compromises can be made. It ultimately depends on the setback that occurs. Personal setbacks may or may not motivate you to move forward, and a larger tragedy dealing with a large group of people could take up more time.
