"Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live." Robert F. Kennedy If anything was a significant event for the Kennedys, it was a tragedy. Both Robert and his brother, the former President of the United States, were assassinated. So tragedy brought them both neither wisdom nor guidance for living. Nevertheless, I do not take credit for the quota. Image: Robert F. Kennedy appearing before Platform Committee, August 19, 1964.

And it is that the tragedies or all the difficulties that appear to us in life, are only opportunities for us to develop skills, or improve the ones we already have, because that will help us to be better. But most people understand it differently, they will surely say that it is "god" who is testing them or that god is very "bad" for putting these tests on him, etc. It is simply that naturally, the world poses situations for us to solve, it is something that I understand as a very basic survival instinct, I cite the example of a caveman. The caveman is quiet in his cave sleeping, but suddenly a saber-toothed tiger gets into his cave, so the caveman immediately chooses to run away from there or throw stones at it, but he does something, then he is learning that if he does not defend himself, the tiger eats it.
Well, yes, you are right. Tragedies activate the survival instinct and human creativity to overcome them.
