Quote by Robert Kennedy

Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.

Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide

Summary

This quote suggests that tragic events and experiences should be seen as opportunities for personal growth and enlightenment, rather than being a basis for how one should live their life. It emphasizes that tragedy should not dictate or define one's actions, choices, and decisions, but rather serve as a lesson or tool to learn from. By acknowledging the potential wisdom that can be gained from tragedy, individuals can strive to transcend their hardships and emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Ultimately, it encourages a proactive and transformative approach towards life's challenges rather than dwelling on them.
