It is of great TRAGIC that I had to be there as I made a tragic flaw and a fatal error in judgment and it is of my weakness of character that leads directly to my downfall.

I can be such a TRAGIC HERO that ultimately makes me come to an unhappy and miserable end. A tragic hero would meet doom with courage and dignity but spare me that as I do not deserve any of it at all.

Yes, outside forces have contributed to my downfall and the series of causally related events lead inevitably to the catastrophe and my TRAGIC RESOLUTION but I did not do anything to prevent it.

I had recognize my own TRAGIC FLAW but I do not seek to gain anyone's sympathy.



And it was of even GREATER TRAGEDY that I was weak to succumb to such shame.

-Arthur Miller states in his essay, "Tragedy and the Common Man-





Do the right things, not because of any rewards, but rather to prevent any regrets.
