Tragedy is the day that the hope you always hold will bring better days in the future and make you happier is completely lost. For that will be the day that you realize your life will just be the way it is, and wont change till you die. Tragedy is when hope for a better future dies. Human death is far from tragedy.

To me a tragedy is anything at all that is wrong with my or anyone elses life. Like 911 or homelessness or disease or a paper cut. I mean with all our technology and supposed intelligence there shouldn't be anythin wrong in the world that we can't fix. The fact that there is, is the biggest tragedy of all.

When a person stands before almighty God and condemned to an eternity in the Lake of Fire, because he rejected Jesus as his/her savior. That is a tragedy.

My life is far too dull for anything to be tragic.... and my opinion of events in general is far too ambivalent for me to consider anything particularly tragic....
Death in and of itself is not tragic. When my father died, I wouldn't have called it tragic. I referred to it as "inconvenient" and even "unfortunate" at the time... but thats about it. Sometimes I tend to think of death as beautiful, if I even think about it at all.
But then I suppose if I lost my job, got refused support by the government, kicked out by my landlady, became quadroplegic in an accident and all the remaining members of my family and friends died at the same time.......... THAT could possibly be called tragic. I'd probably still be able to laugh though.... and then I would beg passers by to kill me until someone agreed.

tragedy = when my life becomes empty
when i lose all hope, when there is no meaning to my life
For me this is when my fiance dies (if he dies before me)
I cannot live without him and I would be literally lost without him.
