You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks.

Summary

This quote implies that tragedy occurs when a person is unable to adapt or endure difficult situations. Instead of being flexible and resilient like a tree that bends with the wind, someone who is rigid and resistant to change will ultimately break under the weight of their challenges. It suggests that it is important to be resilient and adaptive in order to effectively navigate and overcome the hardships of life.
