you are cheapening the actual meaning of the words you are using.
It's simple, don't say something is a tragedy when it isn't. Sparrow dies ,its tragic, Dad dies ,its tragic. Dad dying is as tragic as a sparrow dying. Nonsense. Therefore don't use the word tragic, imo. Melodramatic hogwash. |

trag·ic (trjk)
adj. 1. Relating to or characteristic of dramatic tragedy or tragedies: tragic plays; the tragic hero. 2. Writing or performing in tragedy: a tragic poet. 3. Having the elements of tragedy; involving death, grief, or destruction: a tragic accident. nowhere does it say it must only be used when talking about mum or dad dying etc |

My use of the sparrow /dad comparison in talking about a tragedy is to illustrate the disparity in 2 events that some people could call tragic ( animal lovers) that obviously are not on the same level.
Much like you, a stranger to a celeb, calling her death a tragedy. You don't analogies I've noticed in that past. |

By:
yes a 32 year old girl with great talent dying is a tragedy
why should i not be able to recognise that on a human level? |

By:
Did the Greeks realise what they were starting with their plays? and come to that Was Willie Shakespeare really think his ''tragedies'' were tragic ?
|
|
By:
the problem with your attempt at an analogy is that it made no sense
never in my entire life have i heard anyone call the death of a sparrow tragic animal lover or otherwise you've basically just made that up |
|
By:
You can cb, grieve away.
To me she is the sparrow or something in between sparrow/dad I don't agree its a tragedy is all. No biggie. |
|
By:
Not was but DID ^
|
|
By:
Yes I made the analogy up! To emphasise what irrelevences people will call tragic! Anyway, lets just agree to disagree as usual, ofah is on ,didn't realise.

By:
i'm not grieving at all
i've already stated i felt no sadness but as a human being i can recognise it as tragic |
|
By:
but how can you emphasise what people call tragic when they don't?
lol |

By:
well i need to get some kip anyway

I think you using the phrase "great talent" about an actress that most of us had never heard of,and who has,by all accounts,a very limited career in that profession,belies your attitude to "celebrities" and their lives. You seem in thrall to such persons.I suspect that you are under 30 and have grown up with this celebrity dominated culture.You are a modern victim of a very modern phenomenen. |

lolling on a tragic day like this. poor form
|
|
By:
i don't thrall in them at all
and i'm over 30 also, her imdb page doesn't exactly suggest a limited career |
|
By:
nor do i watch reality tv
in fact i find it pointless which would be a bit odd for someone who loves celeb culture |
