I've just heard this sentence again: "Every death is a tragedy". Quite often it's "although every death is a tragedy...."
I don't agree that every death is a tragedy. Even my own mother's death at the end of a long and good life last year was not a tragedy. Sadness was involved but also joy. Joy at how lucky we had been to have had such good parents (my dad died a long time ago). This goodness of purpose, this depth of life, is part of our inheritance. There is a richness in it and a calm joy. My mother's death was not tragic. It was peaceful. It was the natural thing. In a sense she was lucky. And so were we not to have seen her suffering as our father had.
Does Israel want full scale war in the Middle East?
