Life is not a Tragedy

Attitudes toward life color everything we see and do. L Giussani writes Life is not a tragedy. Tragedy is what makes everything amount to nothing. Yes, life is a drama. It is dramatic because it is the relationship between our I and the You of God, our I that must follow the steps which God indicates. (343)

 The I and the You of God. We balance our whole lives on that phrase. In seeking God, we must not forget we are uniquely made and that our I will live forever. In caring for the I, we must not forget we are made for God.

The I is likened to the tree planted near running  water (God) that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. (Ps. 1)
