Tragedy

A common drive for human beings is religion. In times of tragedy, it is common to justify the circumstances with the idea that 'God did this for a reason.' Well there is no reason God would create the tragedy. God did not create it. In fact, there is no God.

Humans have the tendency to seek explanation for everything. Tragedy occurs only in the minds of humans. These tragedies are only caused by human error, whether it is the victim's or another's. Humans fail to understand that life moves on; they say the words but do not embrace the concept fully.

There is no deep reasoning behind tragic situations. There is no plan in place and no lesson meant to be learned. In the search for something greater, humans blind themselves from the simple reality that things just happen. Balance is always achieved in nature. Some die so that others can be born.

Humans fight nature with all of their power with no gain to show for it. Humans are the only animals to reject living in harmony with nature. Purifying forrest fires are put out. Chemical infested life killing cement is laid over the grass and dirt that provides homes and food for many species.

A tragedy happens simply because events led up to it happening. Victims are merely victims and are not specially chosen by a supernatural force to return to the sky. Peace can be found in the logical knowledge of why and what occurred. The acceptance that life is just another life in the universe can set one free.
