Quote by John Edward Masefield
Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.
Summary
This quote suggests that ordinary individuals tend to dislike tragedy because they are fearful of experiencing suffering and are unable to find joy or triumph in the face of adversity. Commonplace people prefer to avoid tragic situations altogether, as they lack the strength or resilience to confront difficult circumstances and find meaning or growth in them. This aversion to tragedy stems from a desire to maintain a comfortable and predictable existence, devoid of the challenges that come with confronting and navigating through tragic events.
