Tragedy
By X. M.

Tragedy
If you hit child over the head
he would bawl his head off-but
a short while later he would DE
laughing about something else.
That seems to be the emotional
level reached by most people one
meets The point I'm trying to
make is that although people may
feel sad and unhappy they are
not always capable of realizing the
truth that life is essentially tragic.
But once in a while I meet some
one who has arrived at the reali-
cation, and I might add that they
are not necessarily pessimists.
They are usually people who have
suffered through adverse circum-
stances, or through their keen
awareneSs of and sensitivity to life.
Sometimes the second condition
grows from the first.
In Literature
In modern literature, man is often
pictured as the pawn of circum-
stances The circumstances are
interviewer with the mans temper
ment, which, in turn, is condition
ed by his environment and here
dity. So temperament is some
thing over which he has little con-
troll.
There is one character in DR.
Maurier's" Hungry Hill" who APP
pealed to me. I remember vaguely
that he is referred to as "Wild
Willie" or wild Jack" forget
which. In one rather poignant
| scene, this person refers to the
fact that he is cursed by his owr
temperament. I suppose most Of
us are made to suffer more or less
because of our temperaments.
The great tragedies of Shake.
speare and of the ancient Greeks
bring out the tragic element in life
in bold relief. The themes are usu-
ally repeated: a great man goes to
his destruction because he possesses
some trait which makes him I'M
willing or unable to adjust himself
to his environment.

japanese territories which Russia
will have much have to say. Also,
thue are PREPARATIONS still to be
settled.
The American proposal for a
veto-free conference will defer from
the European peace-making pro-
cedures. 1t is no doubt aimed at
Russia for her free use of veto
powers in Germany. The American
proposal will make two-thirds vote
with or without concurring votes of
the big powers decide the issues.
Also, the treaty drafting will be
done by all of the eleven nations
represented at the conference, in
stead of only by the big powers.
THE IL NATIONS
which will attend the confer
ence are now members of the Far
Eastern Commission which was set
up at the Foreign Ministers con-
ference in 1915. At this Moscow
conference, the Foreign Ministers
of Russia, Britain and the United
States agreed, with the concurrence
of China, for the establishment of
the FEC which will operate from
headquarters in Washington, D. c
The FEC has been preparing dir
ectives in accordance with policy
decisions of the Commission and the
United States Government in turn
has been transmitting them tC
General MacArthur's occupation
headquarters in Tokyo.

Life Is Essentially Tragic

it was thought and indecision; IN
the case of the Greek tragic he
roes, 1t was usually "hubris" or
pride
In Actual Life
In actual life, the spiritual strug-
gle between man and his enviro-
ment is less clear cut 1t is clut-
tered with myriad of tiny and in
cidental forces. In this struggle,
he is sometimes victorious.
More often he is confused or
browbeaten or defeated by life.
But great many persons don't
even get that far because they are
scared to come to grips with life.
They drug their spiritual unrest by
activity-either in the striving for
what they think is Success" or in
a meaningless round of social act
ivity, meetings and fun-seekin.g.
s+*%s
I have met many who suffer
from extreme loneliness, or sad
ness, or unrest. I suppose it's ma
tural for them to want to evade
the unanswerable questions about
life which torment them. But
wouldn't if I were them; I might
try controlling the emotions suf-
ficiently to prevent, them from
making me unsociable. But 6
mans life is the richer for having
suffered, and having experienced
a spiritual weakness and need, ane
having tried to face the challeng.
ing questions.
With luck and perseverance, h,
may even find the reason for tn,
tragedy in human existence.
