tragic world
It is only in a tragic world that death becomes such a tragedy.
Babies cry at everything violent, at the slightest tragic loss of love, and do not understand death; adults no longer are aware of most violence and tragedy short of injury or loss of life, and still, still they do not understand death.
We now have a world that to survive in, you have to be happy go free and care lucky about it.
You have to live every minute of your life as if you are in a state of war with civilization around you, as if every minute is a minute exposed in a combat zone, in danger for your life and your children's lives.
Because it's almost literally so.
