Quote by Aldous Huxley

We participate in tragedy. At comedy we only look.

We participate in tragedy. At comedy we only look.

Summary

This quote suggests that while we actively engage and become a part of tragic moments in life, we often merely observe comedy from a distance. It highlights how tragedy tends to involve us emotionally, making us experience and feel the impact of events, while comedy allows us to detach ourselves and merely enjoy the humor. The quote may also imply that in tragedy, we connect with our shared vulnerabilities and hardships, but in comedy, we are mere spectators, finding amusement in the misfortunes or absurdity of others.
