Philosophize This!

NOTE

**Life's Fragility is often tucked away **

People frequently experience a disconnection from the reality of life’s fragility, often choosing to live in an idealistic realm that ignores this inherent truth. When confronted with unexpected trauma or loss, individuals can become overwhelmed, leading to long-lasting emotional impacts and a feeling of injustice. This reaction stems from a shock of reality when faced with events they perceive as evil or wrong. In Greek tragedies, the narrative acknowledges life’s fragility from the outset, emphasizing that this awareness should be a fundamental aspect of human existence.
