¶ Tragedy
Index Entry
Tragedy:
“I take the word tragedy to mean poor little man being born ignorant and helpless and not having any idea of what is going on in the Universe. If for one instant we could really come to understand our Universe and could perceive ourselves as really one with Universe, we wouldn’t have to consider such a word as ‘tragedy.’ We would see that there is absolute immortality. ‘Tragedy,’ I think is where everything just comes out wrong, and nothing works and the Universe is a failure. But I don’t think the Universe is a failure. And the reason I don’t think so is that as far as we can see Universe is the minimum eternally self-regenerative system, so we can only think of it as a complete success. It includes everything we experience and all of it has logical and sublime integrity.”
