Lack of ambition may sound like a tragic tale of laziness but really it isn’t.

We’re on top of the world, looking down on a creation…

In fact, I’ve managed to work my way out of many incidents of stunted ambition and pushed on to create a bright new future for myself. Somehow I managed to reject these false notions of self and moved on to a brave new world. I became a protagonist once again and instigated the come back tour of a lifetime. The madness and mayhem are behind me now.

Tragedy can be seen in many lives but not in mine. Although I do have more than one unfortunate tale from my past, I fail to live up to any Greek form of tragedy. Even if a person did consider my conditions tragic, he or she would only have to think of all the people killed in their attempts to achieve greatness or perform goodness to see real tragedy. These are people who actually attempted to achieve something but were somehow destroyed or struck down by forces beyond their control. This is what tragedy is about. It’s a fall from grace. It’s the hopeful who drops the ball and who never recovers.

It’s a thankless world out there and only those who attempt to act with ambition and failure can adopt the term tragedy to their lives. If you are fortunate enough to lose it all or die in the process then I salute you. You are benevolent beings to which everyone should ascribe. It is this type of behaviour which will recreate a pleasant world for all. Without tragedy, our lives are meaninglessly bound to safety. They are simply constructs and abstractions within a network of control. Fortunately, there are a few men and women out there who truly live their lives to the fullest.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m one of them.
