Tragedy? 

A reader asks a valid question about how we are all reacting to the death of the Pope:
...since when is the peaceful and relatively painless death of an 80+ year-old man a "tragedy?"

I would say it is a tragedy for the same reason that we cry at funerals, even though the deceased are believed to be in a better place than we are. Because we don't cry for him, we cry for us. It is we who have lost a great man, a great Pope. His life works were tremendous, and few can hope to leave such a legacy to follow. So it is a tragedy for us, that he could not do more and that we go on without him. Thought provoking comment.
