Quiroga - 52

 Comedy and tragedy

The human experience of being is crazy enough that everything that presents itself to us as a tragedy can also, eventually, be seen as a comedy. Crying and laughing at the suffering, afflicting ourselves convinced that we are at an inglorious end and also being taken over by a visceral laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Where is the dignity that we lack so much? In living our experience of being in threatening scenarios from which we need to defend ourselves, inventing enemies where there is only Life? Or trying to understand Life, which contemplates us, impartial and equanimous, how much we struggle in the prisons we invented for ourselves?

For the Life of our lives, our civilization is a comedy of errors, for us, who invented civilization, it is all a tragedy.
