Tragédie

Far too often I’d hear these words from those who happened to be near me.

“I’m sorry you've been through something really tough.”

I would give them a confused look and I would explain.

“Tragedy is when something sad happens.  I will never be afraid of the future, in fact I am blessed by the future.  Everything will happen with reason.”  

When I spoke they would look at me with strange expressions, and would reel away.  They thought of me as a madman, but I would continue.

“If I were to die, she wouldn’t shed tears for me.  Therefore I cannot shed tears on her behalf, if she were to pass.  For I am her strength, and she is mine.”  

Her will was very strong and I hoped to spread her strength through the world.  Often I would speak using her ideology, which was distributed by my words.
