Tragedy is a relative thing, so the word poses an interesting challenge. What is a
tragedy? Both Gary and Eve were brought up steeped in the Judeo-Christian way of
being, where people are supposed to be happy with what they have. If something
happens, it is the will of a higher power. Be thankful with what you have. Chances
are, someone is always a lot worse off. Even in “tragedy,” we are supposed to count
our blessings.
