Savour the Tragedy

Tragedy is not merely a idea, but a tangible force that assails our very being. It brands us with scars, both invisible, and transforms who we are. However, even in the shadows of tragedy, there exists a certain poetry. A potent honesty that illuminates the depth of the human experience.
