Because life is a paradox.

@Unsettled: Hence my favourite quote, "Life is an unrelenting comedy. Therein lies the tragedy of it."

@OWTFWN: That's right. I know nothing about your life. I presume you left this comment because you want to say something about it. Go ahead.

@OWTFWN: I know very well that S.A. is the rape capital of the world. That doesn't change my liking of this quote. From my point of view you are not understanding the quote as I do. That is my point of view and you are entitled to have yours.

The quote I provided is like art. It means different things depending on the mindset of the viewer. I'm not trying to have a competition with you. I was giving my opinion and you gave yours. That's fine. sometimes 2 people can have different opinions but they are both right depending on their point of view and experience in life and their basic personality etc.....:-)

@OWTFWN: The reason why I like that quote is because I Do see the big picture. Again, this is my opinion as opposed to yours.

@OWTFWN: I repeat. You are not understanding the quote as I understand it. Let me write it this way and it may become clear. "Life is an unrelenting tragedy. Therein lies the comedy of it." I'm not going to explain further.

I am me and you are you. Be yourself and I'll be me.

@OWTFWN: Just for interest sake here is a lovely example of a tragicomedy. You'll have to copy/paste.

@OWTFWN: Let's stop communicating with each other shall we ? We are not at all on the same wavelength.

@OWTFWN: Here is my answer to that which shows that I think the bible is mostly plagiarized bullshit.

@OWTFWN: The article about the statue of water dripping from the statue of Jesus proves that the water was sewage water and not holy in the least. Hence tragicomedy because the Catholic church was promoting it as holy water. In other words the conduct of this church in general is hilarious because they presume to promote moral ethics, yet they willingly let people drink sewage water as if it is holy water. That is also a tragedy. Hence tragicomedy.

I don't know why I'm telling you this because I already said that I don't want to explain any more to you. I should listen to myself more.
