Death Mean Tragedy

More From Theodore Roosevelt

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.

I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

So to be sick unto death is, not to be able to die-yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available. when death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life; but when one becomes acquainted with an even more dreadful danger, one hopes for death. so when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die.
Life Hope Sick
I support the death penalty. i think that it has to be administered not only fairly, with attention to things like dna evidence, which i think should be used in all capital cases, but also with very careful attention. if the wrong guy is put to death, then that's a double tragedy. not only has an innocent person been executed but the real perpetrator of the crime has not been held accountable for it, and in some cases may be still at large. but i support the death penalty in the most heinous cases.
